    To own TechnipFMC, you need to believe in the durability of global offshore oil and gas spending and the company’s ability to convert its Subsea backlog into profitable cash flow, even as the energy transition advances. The latest results show higher earnings and completed buybacks, but they do not fundamentally change the near term catalyst, which remains execution on Subsea projects, nor the primary risk around long term fossil fuel demand and decarbonization policy.
