Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
TotalEnergies (Overweight; Price Target: €83.00)
Investment Thesis
We are OW TotalEnergies for: 1) Competitive oil leverage coupled with leading O&G
longevity underlined by a 12 year proven reserve life; 2) Strong balance sheet positions
it well to translate higher price scenarios into higher distributions.
Valuation
Our Jun-27 PT is €83, set as an equal-weighted blend of SOTP and 2027E PER. We assume
value crystallisation on our Renewables valuation (i.e. 0% discount) and incorporate the
risk-adjusted Russia value upside into the NAV( $6bn or €3/sh). We apply a 15% discount
to the O&G business offset by a 5% premium on its resource longevity. On multiples, we
target a 15% sector discount to an EU mkt 2027E forward median PER 14.0x; from this, we
adjust for Total’s historical premium/discount to the sector, which gives a target 11.5x on
2027E EPS at $75/bbl Brent.
Risks to Rating and Price Target
Macro risks – The main generic risks, both to the upside and downside, come from crude
oil, natural gas or refining margins significantly differing from our assumptions.
Balance sheet – While gearing remains comfortable in an absolute sense, leverage
increases during 2025 leave delivery on underlying deleveraging as a key driver to future
share price performance. Slippage would likely weigh on the shares.
E&P project execution risk – delivery on core growth projects is central to delivering on
TotalEnergies differentiation through sustained topline growth.
