Some 35 of the biggest UK firms with pension deficits pay more in dividends than their shortfalls, analysis shows.

Pension firm AJ Bell calculated that 54 FTSE 100 companies had paid out £48bn to shareholders a year in the past two years.

That’s almost equal to the total £52bn recorded deficit of their combined pension schemes in 2014.

“The plights of BHS and Tata Steel have brought this into focus,” said Russ Mould, investment director of AJ Bell. read more

Royal Dutch Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Ben Van Beurden spelled out his main goal last week — surpass Exxon Mobil Corp. to become the best-performing oil major. 

“I am determined to get us to that number one place,” he said after outlining the company’s long-term strategy in London. “I want to create a world class investment case for Shell and our shareholders.” 

There are signs Van Beurden is winning over some investors following his record $54 billion acquisition of BG Group Plc. Shell has closed the gap on Exxon for total shareholder returns, which accounts for share prices, dividend payouts and buybacks, after lagging behind for five years. Still, the Anglo-Dutch explorer trails its U.S. rival on a range of other metrics from return on capital and assets to cash flow. read more

The Value Portfolio: Jun. 15, 2016 2:04 AM ET

Summary

  • Royal Dutch Shell’s capital markets presentation shows the company’s impressive and growing deepwater ambitions.
  • The company is Noble Corporation’s largest customer and represents more than 60% of its backlog.
  • The acquisition of Noble Corporation will bring Royal Dutch Shell returns higher than the present returns it expects to get from deepwater drilling overall.

Introduction

Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) (NYSE: RDS.B) is an Anglo-Dutch multinational oil & gas company headquartered in the Netherlands and incorporated in the United Kingdom. It is the second-largest publicly traded oil company in the world, with a market cap of just under $200 billion, second only to Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) with a market cap of $378 billion.

Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE) is an offshore drilling contractor also incorporated in London, the United Kingdom. It is the successor of the Noble Drilling Corporation and operates by providing drilling rigs to various oil companies in exchange for contracts. However, since Noble Corporation does not have Royal Dutch Shell’s oil major status, the company has seen its stock price decimated since the start of the oil crash. read more

But each of Shell’s positive announcements in the country come with an almost automatic question mark — addressing the company’s relationship with its previous CEO and current Energy Minister Juan José Aranguren. read more
