TTETTE

Large Cap International Portfolio sold 10,871 TotalEnergies shares, cutting its stake by 57.53% to 8,024 shares. The divestiture modestly increases TotalEnergies' free float but should have limited impact on trading liquidity.

1. Production Ramp‐Up to Cushion Price Headwinds

TotalEnergies plans to boost its oil and gas output by 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) between 2024 and 2026, aiming to lift total production from about 3.2 million boe/d to 3.5 million boe/d. The company’s Q4 guidance projects daily output of 3.3 million boe/d in the period, up 4% year-over-year, driven by new developments in West Africa and the North Sea. Management highlighted that higher upstream volumes will partially offset the impact of a roughly 8% decline in realized hydrocarbon prices over the past six months, helping to sustain free cash flow near €10 billion for 2025.

2. Accelerating Power and Renewables Growth

TotalEnergies is targeting 35 gigawatts of renewable generation capacity by 2030, nearly doubling its current 18 gigawatts. The company has secured 5 gigawatts of new solar and onshore wind projects across Spain, India and the United States in the past quarter, representing an investment commitment of €4.2 billion. Executives emphasized that rising demand from electric vehicles and the expansion of AI data centers in Europe will underpin power sales growth of 6% annually through 2027, with renewables expected to contribute over 25% of group EBITDA by that date.

3. Institutional Stake Reduction Highlights Market Sentiment

Large Cap International Portfolio trimmed its stake in TotalEnergies by 57.5% during Q1, selling 10,871 shares and reducing its holding to 8,024 shares. Based on the last reported valuation, the fund’s remaining position is worth approximately €320,000. Portfolio managers cited portfolio rebalancing following strong performance in the energy sector, while maintaining a strategic exposure given TotalEnergies’ investment-grade balance sheet and dividend integrity.
