Christopher Kuplent has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight TotalEnergies SE’s financial resilience and strategic positioning. Despite a weaker cash conversion in the first quarter of 2025, Kuplent notes that the company’s balance sheet remains robust, with significant headroom that is being effectively utilized. This financial flexibility is expected to support the company as it navigates temporary working capital outflows, which are anticipated to reverse by the end of the year.
Furthermore, Kuplent emphasizes TotalEnergies’ strategic shift from traditional oil operations to a broader energy focus, which is reducing its breakeven oil price and creating additional value. The company’s renewable energy business is particularly noteworthy, contributing a substantial net present value that is not yet fully reflected in the current share price. Additionally, TotalEnergies’ free cash flow projections remain strong, outperforming consensus expectations, which supports the Buy rating despite recent adjustments to forecasts.
