Context and risks
Material geopolitical risk due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for crude and LNG transport. Although Shell benefits from high crude, the asymmetry is to the downside: a sudden agreement could reverse prices and exceptional refining margins in days, not quarters.

Verdict: Hold; the solid financial position and reasonable valuation offset the risk of earnings normalization and geopolitical exposure in Ormuz.
Main risk: The main risk is a reversal in the crude oil price environment, especially due to a potential agreement in the Strait of Hormuz, which could compress refining margins and sharply reduce current earnings.
