Shell cuts dividend for first time since WWII, shares -7%

Apr. 30, 2020 2:41 AM ETRoyal Dutch Shell plc (RDS.A)53 Comments

"Given the continued deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook and significant mid and long-term uncertainty," Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) is slashing its quarterly dividend to $0.16, from $0.47 per share.

COVID-19 has slammed demand for oil, gas and related products, while crude recorded a historic plunge into negative territory earlier this month.
Shell's adjusted current cost of supplies income, used as a proxy for net profit, slid 45% to $2.9B during the first quarter of 2020, compared with $5.3B a year earlier.

Shell ADSs are listed on the NYSE under symbols RDS.A and RDS.B. As each ADS represents two ordinary shares, their dividends will be cut to $0.32, from $0.94 a share.
CEO Van Burden on Bloomberg:
“The biggest crisis we feel is the crisis of uncertainty.” Calls the cut "an inevitable moment."

In January: “I think lowering the dividend is not a good lever to pull if you want to be a world-class investment case, so we’re not going to do that. And it’s also not needed, to be perfectly honest.”

Shares are -7% in London.

天底下沒什麼不可能發生的，殼牌CEO一月份說過的承諾也無法履行了，您的RDS.A、RDS.B準備好長期持有？
