244Oil and gas stocks, take profits vs. hold
Hey everyone,
I've just caught myself changing my own plans and views as soon as the market environment changes.
BP has been bobbing around in the red in my portfolio for months and not so long ago I said to myself: as soon as it's up, I'll dump it... It will happen at some point. Now the time has come. And I'm not so sure anymore :-) Now I think: I'm taking a long-term view. They pay dividends regularly. And without withholding tax. And especially if such a situation arises again at some point, it doesn't hurt to have a share that stabilizes the portfolio.
What are you doing at the moment? Hold or sell? $SHEL (-0,52%) $BP $VAR
Need advice
Hello everyone.
I am currently working on the following topic $SHEL (-0,52%) . I'm not so sure whether I shouldn't make a temporary partial sale. I bought 250 shares for €11.40 back in 2020/2021. A partial sale of 100 pcs was made at almost 150% price gain at that time.
So I still have 150 shares.
Due to two portfolio moves, I am "only" shown a profit of approx. 80%, which in fact should be something in the 200% - 250% range.
I receive 8, ... % dividend p.a. which is not wrong, which is why I am considering whether it makes sense to trigger the tax event at all. The share price of €39 will not be maintained, let's be realistic, which is why I'm wondering whether to sell.
I also still have $OXY (-1,68%) 138 shares for 1 year, 2/3 of which I will liquidate, as it was more of a medium-term bet. That would also be a factor that speaks against a partial sale of shell.
I think the world $VWRL (+0,01%) will recover and whether oil is at its peak I don't know.
The two oil stocks make up approx. 11% of my total portfolio.
I am actually well diversified (etf/stocks/real estate/gold/bonds,call money)
Which stocks are currently on your watchlist?
Hello everyone
How are you all doing? I hope you are well! 😃
I'd be interested to know which stocks are currently on your watchlist?
I currently have the following stocks on my watchlist:
Financials:
$SOFI (+2,01%) (I think they would be a good addition to Visa in my portfolio. Thanks for your analysis @Klein-Anleger)
Industrials:
$SIE (+2,96%), $SU (+2,27%) & $SIKA (+7,44%) (I am still looking for 1-2 stocks in the industrial sector. Siemens looks quite interesting at the moment).
Consumer:
$MC (+1,88%), $OR (+1,03%), $CDI (+1,2%) & $RMS (+3,18%) (A consumer share is actually still missing in my portfolio. But I don't think it's a good idea to buy something now under duress).
Other interesting companies/ ETFs:
I would also like to have a commodity ETF (silver, uranium & rare earths) and an EM ETF in my portfolio. $NFLX (-0,59%) is also very interesting.
Most recently I have $BV0Z6G (-0,06%) and 250 $SHEL (-0,52%) shares. $NOVO B (+2,81%) I bought more at a bad time, but will remain invested and buy more if necessary. At $IREN (+4,81%) I bought 100 more shares today.
I wish you all a successful day!
Best regards
Chris
Petrobras (PETR4) - Said to be dead, but the numbers tell a different story
Ticker: PETR4
Stock exchange: B3 (Brazil)
Sector: Oil & Gas (focus on offshore & pre-salt)
Current share price (last): approx. € 6.50
Petrobras is one of the largest integrated energy companies in the world and the dominant oil company in Brazil. Those who are only guided by headlines quickly overlook what is actually happening operationally.
Business model & strategic position
Petrobras covers large parts of the value chain:
- Exploration & production
- Refinery
- Transportation & Export
The focus is clearly on the Brazilian pre-salt fields - one of the most productive offshore areas in the world.
Advantages:
- High production volume per well
- Comparatively low production costs
- Technological leadership in the deepwater sector
The business remains profitable even at moderate oil prices.
Fundamental key figures (rounded, latest published annual figures)
- Sales: ~100-110 billion USD
- EBITDA: ~45-50 billion USD
- Net profit: ~20-25 billion USD
- Free cash flow: double-digit billions
- P/E ratio: often in the 3-5 range
- Debt: massively reduced since 2016
A company with this level of cash flow strength is currently trading at a valuation that is otherwise more likely to be seen in structural problem cases.
Dividends - the often underestimated factor
A central point is the dividend policy.
Petrobras has regularly paid high dividends in recent years - at times with double-digit yields.
Important here:
- The dividends are strongly linked to cash flow and the oil price.
- In strong years, considerable amounts were returned to shareholders.
- Even with a more moderate payout, the company remains a clear cash flow generator.
Of course, dividends are not guaranteed and are politically influenced. But historically, Petrobras has been highly attractive to income investors.
Political risk - a reality, but priced in
As a state-dominated company, political influence remains a factor:
- Investment priorities
- pricing policy
- Dividend strategy
However, it is precisely this risk that explains the extremely low valuation.
Anyone buying a P/E ratio of 3-5 is also buying the risk discount.
Scenarios up to 2030
It remains crucial:
- Oil price
- Production development
- capital allocation
- political framework conditions
Conservative scenario:
- Oil price ~70 USD
- Stable production
- Moderate dividends
- → Valuation level in the range of € 8-12 per share appears fundamentally justifiable.
More optimistic scenario:
- stable demand
- disciplined investments
- pragmatic policy
- → € 12-18 not unrealistic in the long term until 2030.
This is not a promise, but a range that can be derived from cash flow and valuation multiples.
Classification
Petrobras is:
- not a growth tech stock
- not an ESG favorite
- not a momentum trade
But it is:
- a highly profitable commodity producer
- with globally relevant reserves
- strong cash flows
- attractive dividend history
- and a very low valuation
Whether you invest depends on your own risk tolerance.
But to call a company with billions in cash flow, falling debt and globally competitive production costs "dead" across the board does not seem very number-based, to say the least.
Nevertheless, my personal opinion is that no investment advice should encourage anyone to buy or sell!
$PETR4 (-1,11%)
$PETR3 (-1,04%)
$PBR (-1,47%)
$E (-0,84%)
$SHEL (-0,52%)

Will be seen much more frequently in portfolios in the coming years. 👍
Shell quarterly figures Q4 2025: Decline in earnings with rising dividend
On February 5, 2026, the company published $SHEL (-0,52%) published its financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2025. The figures show a challenging final quarter, while the return of capital to shareholders is being further expanded.
Key financial figures Q4 2025 Compared to the third quarter of 2025, Shell recorded declines in its key earnings figures in the last three months of the year:
- Adjusted Earnings: Profit fell to USD 3.26 billion. This corresponds to a decline of around 40% compared to the previous quarter (USD 5.43 billion).
- Net income: Profit attributable to shareholders amounted to USD 4.13 billion (Q3: USD 5.32 billion).
- Operating cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities fell to USD 9.44 billion.
- Debt: Net debt rose to USD 45.7 billion at the end of the year.
Reasons for the development Management cited several factors that had a negative impact on earnings in the fourth quarter:
- Tax effects: Unfavorable tax movements, including deferred taxes, weighed on earnings.
- Margin pressure: Earnings were impacted by significantly lower margins in the refining and marketing business.
- Price level: Lower realized prices for oil and gas had a negative impact.
- Bright spot: By contrast, higher trading volumes in the LNG (liquefied natural gas) segment had a positive effect, cushioning a sharper decline.
Full year 2025 Looking at the full financial year, the following picture emerges:
- Total profit amounted to USD 17.84 billion (+11% compared to 2024).
- Adjusted annual profit, on the other hand, fell by 22% to USD 18.53 billion.
Shareholder return (dividend & buybacks) Despite the weaker quarterly result, Shell is continuing its policy of capital reduction:
- Dividend: The quarterly dividend will be increased by 4% to USD 0.372 per share (previously USD 0.358).
- Share buybacks: Shell announced a new USD 3.5 billion share buyback program. This is to be completed by the publication of the Q1 figures 2026.
Summary Shell closes 2025 with an operationally weaker fourth quarter, mainly impacted by margin pressure and tax effects. However, the full-year results and the announced dividend increase and new share buybacks continue to signal a focus on shareholder value.
