Shell PLC is a good buy right now due to its current price of 90.91, a low forward P/E of 8.1766 indicating potential for growth, and a strong gross margin of 20.17% in Q2 2026. The recent upgrade by Erste Group reflects confidence in Shell's ability to capitalize on high margins and rising profits.
