"Shell plc filed its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025"

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

us securities and exchange commission regulatory

"with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026"

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a federal agency that sets and enforces rules for public financial markets, requiring companies to share accurate information and policing fraud. Think of it as a referee and traffic cop for investors: it makes companies signal clearly and punishes cheating, so investors can compare and trust financial disclosures. Its actions and filings affect market trust and can move stock prices.
