Deals like the Google PPA, plus recent asset sales and upstream portfolio tweaks, are landing against a backdrop where the latest share price of $55.43 sits on modest positive momentum, with a mid single digit 90 day share price return and a much stronger multi year total shareholder return profile suggesting the long term transition story is still being rewarded.
If this kind of energy transition story has your attention, you might also want to see which other names are showing up in fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With shares still trading at a double digit discount to analyst targets despite resilient earnings growth, are investors underestimating the value of these long dated renewable contracts, or is the market already pricing in the next leg of growth?
With TotalEnergies last closing at €55.43 versus a most popular narrative fair value of about €63.30, the valuation case leans toward mispriced long term cash flows.
The company's disciplined divestment of higher cost, higher carbon, and non operating legacy assets, combined with redeployment of capital into lower cost, lower emission, higher return projects, improves capital efficiency and CFFO per barrel, likely resulting in ongoing improvements in cash flow and return on equity.
Curious how modest top line growth can still justify a higher valuation? This narrative leans on fatter margins, richer multiples, and shrinking share count. Want to see how those ingredients combine into that upside target?
Result: Fair Value of €63.30 (UNDERVALUED)
