Jason Gabelman has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing TotalEnergies SE’s financial outlook. While the company has reduced its 2025 organic capital expenditure by $1 billion, there is no change to the overall capital expenditure. This adjustment is aimed at continuing investment in strategic areas like sustainable aviation fuel, despite potential market discounts on the benefits from improved LNG trading and refining operations.
Furthermore, TotalEnergies SE projected an increase in cash flow from operations by $3.5 billion by 2025, which is stronger than expected. However, investors are cautious about the near-term free cash flow compression against a backdrop of a promising long-term growth outlook. The company’s capital expenditure and buyback strategy suggest potential constraints in free cash flow, leading to the Hold recommendation as investors assess the trade-offs between immediate challenges and future opportunities.
In another report released on February 5, Goldman Sachs also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a €61.00 price target.
