I’m bullish on TotalEnergies, but I would size the position with the earnings cycle in mind. Q3 revenue rose 41.1% year over year and free cash flow increased 138.6% to €10,827M, while debt/equity improved 13.6% to 0.47; that combination gives the company financial room to absorb a weaker cycle. At 9.2x trailing earnings, it is also much cheaper than Eni at 17.3x and ExxonMobil at 17.0x, though Repsol is cheaper at 5.3x. The key caution is normalization: consensus expects EPS to fall 10.3% in 2027 after a 121.0% estimated rise in 2026. The estimated 4.5% dividend yield and 13.5% median target upside support an initial allocation, not an oversized bet. I would invest 20% of available EUR cash.
How it picked this company
- Searched: all markets · Energy · EUR · most upside first
I’m looking for euro-denominated energy companies to compare the sector’s strong session with its earnings and valuation outlook, while avoiding further concentration in my existing holdings.
- 4 matches
- Compared: TTE.PA, REP.MC, TEN.MI
These span an established integrated energy major with the strongest consensus upside, a low-valued producer for comparison, and an energy-services name with positive expected EPS growth.
- Chose this one:
TotalEnergies offers an attractive combination of a 4.5% yield, 9.2x P/E and Buy consensus with 13% upside, while its projected EPS decline is milder than Repsol’s. Its strong year-over-year revenue and net income growth also compare favorably with Tenaris’s more modest recent growth.
