- The next key investor decision concerns currency elections before the scheduled payment.
Shell plc announced an interim dividend of US$0.3906 per ordinary share for the third quarter on Thursday, October 29, according to the Shell dividend announcement. The ordinary shares will trade ex-dividend on Thursday, November 12, while the record date is Friday, November 13.
Shell stock traded at 44.38 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:02 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026. The quote provides the latest trading reference ahead of the ex-dividend date.
Key dates for ordinary shareholders
The company plans to pay the third-quarter dividend on Monday, December 21. Holders may elect to receive the distribution in US dollars, euros or pounds sterling, subject to the applicable intermediary arrangements.
The currency-election deadline is Friday, November 27, at 11:00 GMT. Shell said the pound sterling and euro equivalents will be announced on Monday, December 7. Investors holding through Euroclear Nederland may receive euros by default, while other shareholders may receive pounds sterling unless they make a different valid election.
ADS timetable differs from shares
American depositary shares follow a separate timetable: the ADS ex-dividend date is Friday, November 13, one day after the ordinary shares. Each ADS represents two ordinary shares, and cash dividends on ADSs are paid by default in US dollars.
For income-focused investors, the immediate issue is the distinction between the ordinary-share and ADS calendars rather than a change in the announced distribution. The upcoming ex-dividend date also places the currency-election deadline and December payment date on the near-term shareholder agenda.
