Shell and TotalEnergies Compete for Income Investors in US Market
What happened
Shell recently launched a $5 billion share buyback. Shell, TotalEnergies, and BP all trade in New York and have provided increased cash to shareholders this year, driven by firm oil prices and strong refining margins. The competition among these companies centers on which offers the safest and most sustainable dividend.

Why it matters
