Morning, I’m Louise Moon from Bloomberg UK’s breaking news team, bringing you up to speed on today’s top business stories. Shell has joined its rivals in reaping the benefits of elevated oil and gas prices and huge energy market turmoil since the start of the Iran war. The oil major’s profits soared 24% to beat estimates in the first quarter, as its big trading business got a boost. While the blue chip doesn’t break out earnings from its trading unit, they appear to have climbed sharply: chemicals and products, where it sits, had adjusted earnings of $1.93 billion, compared to $449 million a year earlier. Shell is the last Western oil supermajor to report this quarter, after profits similarly soared at European rivals BP and TotalEnergies. Yet despite the bumper numbers, Shell’s shares fell at the open as it cut its buyback (to $3 billion), and oil prices steadied. What’s your take?

What We’re Watching Speaking of conflict, BAE Systems kept its full-year goals thanks to defence spending rising globally. It expects “significant” opportunities in everything from space systems to missiles, drones technology and submarines. Sales rose over the past year at ‘King of Trainers’ JD Sports , but profits fell and it still expects “muted market growth”, leaving management focused on “controlling the controllables”. Shares fell almost 5%. More on the retailer’s struggles from my colleague Morwenna below. The Duke of Westminster’s property group , known for developing some of London’s most affluent areas, plans to sell its direct US real estate holdings valued at about £700 million . That’s as Grosvenor Group pivots towards indirect investments in North America, which has proved a weak point. Now even Bank of England officials are (privately) concerned that economic data may be sending false signals...

A strong earnings season is hiding tougher times ahead for European stocks as the effects of the Iran war make it harder for companies to meet lofty profit expectations in the quarters to come. Surprisingly good corporate results have helped European stocks stage a rapid recovery from their conflict lows, supported by a conviction among investors that Middle East de-escalation is on the way. First-quarter earnings growth is running at 5.6% year-on-year for the MSCI Europe Index, exceeding market expectations of 2.6%, according to a Bloomberg Intelligence tracker. The bar is about to be raised. “Our concerns lie more for the second, third and fourth quarters of the year,” said Roland Kaloyan , head of European equity strategy at Societe Generale SA in Paris. “Expectations are much higher, while there is a risk that the negative impact of the war, on supply chains, energy or raw material costs will likely be felt further down the road.” Projections for profit increases in Europe are high and keep getting upgraded. The consensus is for a jump of 11% in 2026, and 10.2% in 2027. That also implies that the bulk of the growth this year needs to happen in the next three quarters, a view that looks optimistic should the economy take a hit from elevated oil prices. The rebound in European equities in recent weeks has also been extremely narrow, with a handful of stocks responsible for most of the advance and the earnings revisions. The energy sector has led the way, with a few other star performers in semiconductors, infrastructure and among artificial intelligence beneficiaries such as ASML Holding NV, Nokia Oyj and ABB Ltd. “Overall, it’s a good quarter with a nice earnings momentum year-to-date,” Kaloyan said. “But if you take out energy stocks, miners and semiconductors, earnings revisions are rather negative.” European earnings estimates are on the rise, but much of that is down to massive boosts in the energy sector. Profit expectations for this group have been upgraded...
