Shell's strategy of investing more in research and development than any other oil major has helped its stock perform well.
Recently, Shell has continued to streamline the company to focus more on upstream, or production, assets. On Friday, Shell sold all downstream, or sales-oriented, assets in Chile for $614 million. The oil major will continue to shed unnecessary assets, an analyst report by Merrill Lynch predicts, which the company needs to do to grow.
