PJT Partners Advises on Shell’s $1 Billion Offshore Wind Farm Sale Shell is preparing to sell a portfolio of offshore wind farms in a transaction that could exceed $1b.
Shell has appointed PJT Partners and Rothschild & Co as advisers on the potential sale.
The formal sale process is expected to start as early as the end of this year, with completion targeted in 2027.
Advising on Shell’s planned $1b-plus wind asset sale positions PJT Partners in a complex, high-profile energy transaction that can support its reputation in large-scale advisory work.
Investors may want to watch how successfully PJT converts this mandate into completed fees over the multi-year timeline and whether it leads to further mandates in the broader energy transition and asset-repositioning space. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jun 03

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.8% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Nov 04

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.1% This is considered a minor risk.

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.
