Action:Reiterated

The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance—especially the step-change in cash generation and sustained profitability since 2023—tempered by continued balance-sheet leverage and thin net margins. Technicals are neutral-to-soft in the near term (below key short-term averages with slightly negative MACD), and valuation is a headwind due to the high P/E despite a supportive dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Cash Generation
Saipem's TTM free cash flow has scaled sharply versus 2023, indicating improved project cash conversion and working-capital management. Durable FCF supports reinvestment in vessels and technology, funds debt reduction, and provides a buffer for multi-month project timing variability.
Negative Factors
Elevated Leverage
Debt still exceeds equity (debt-to-equity ~1.18), which limits financial flexibility in a cyclical, project-driven industry. Elevated leverage increases interest and refinancing risk, constrains ability to absorb project cost overruns, and narrows room for opportunistic investments over months.

In the recent earnings call, Saipem executive Alessandro Puliti provided a robust outlook for the company's performance in 2024. For the third quarter, Saipem achieved the highest quarterly order intake since Q2 2019, with revenues reaching €3.7 billion, marking a 23% year-on-year increase.
