The British energy giant Shell reported robust profits following the surge in oil prices prompted by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
The company, based in London, said Thursday that its adjusted profit soared 24 percent, to $6.92 billion, in the first three months of the year from the same time last year, higher than analysts expected. Shell’s first-quarter profit was more than twice what the company earned in the previous quarter, a time of seasonally lower activity.
