Q3 2025

Shell plc (SHEL) has initiated a $3.5 billion share buyback program spanning approximately three months, concluding by October 24, 2025. Executed via two $1.75 billion contracts on London and Netherlands exchanges, the program aims to reduce issued share capital by cancelling all repurchased shares, up to 602,100,000. Completion is expected before Shell’s Q3 2025 results, contingent on market conditions. The buyback demonstrates financial strength and boosts shareholder value.

Global Education Communities Corp. (GECSF) reported improved Q3 2025 financial results with stable revenue at $16.842M and a net income of $1.323M, a significant turnaround from Q1. Adjusted EBITDA surged to $6.805M. GECC is converting mortgages to lower-interest loans and secured rezoning for increased property density. The GEC Oakridge project is on track for early 2027 completion, and an educational asset divestiture is expected this month. While a net loss attributable to shareholders remains, GECC focuses on efficiency, reduced interest expenses, and strategic development.
