How Total Stock Has Performed in the Past Month
By Michelle ReyDec 27, 2018 | 4:25 PM

Total’s stock returns

Total (TOT) stock has fallen more than Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) in the past month, falling 7.0% since November 23. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has fallen 11.0%, and BP (BP) has fallen 8.1%.

Total
Total’s moving averages

On November 23, Total’s ten-day moving average was 3.5% below its 30-day moving average. However, that gap has been reduced to 3.0% due to Total’s 30-day moving average falling steeply.

How is Total stock positioned after its recent plunge?

Total’s dividend yield is 5.9%, above peers’ average of 5.5%. Total, which focuses on enhancing shareholders’ returns via dividends and buybacks, is buying back shares to offset dilution caused by its scrip dividend. It plans to buy back up to $5 billion in stock between 2018 and 2020 to share the benefits of its improved earnings with shareholders.

Total’s forward PE multiple is 8.9x, below the peer average of 10.4x, likely due to its lower anticipated growth. Total’s earnings are expected to grow 31% this year, whereas peers’ are expected to grow 61% on average. Overall, Total’s dividend yield is higher than peers’ and its valuation and 2018 growth expectation are lower.

A group of nearly 30 companies involved in the production of plastics and consumer goods said Wednesday that they have committed $1 billion to help reduce plastic waste as part of a global alliance.

The Alliance to End Plastic Waste, which includes oil-and-gas majors such as Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) and chemical makers like BASF SE (BAS.XE), hopes to invest $1.5 billion over the next five years, according to fellow member Total SA (FP.FR).

Among other projects, the group plans to partner with cities to design waste-management systems, especially along rivers which transport waste to the ocean.

Member companies will also fund the development of technologies that prevent plastic waste by investing in startups, with an initial focus on Southeast Asia.

The digital platform, which handles post-trade processing in the North Sea crude oil market, counts BP, Equinor and Shell among existing shareholders.

"With Chevron, Reliance and Total on board, we now have five of the world's top ten largest oil and gas companies by market capitalization" as investors, Vakt director Adam Vile said in a statement.

BP, Equinor, Shell, Gunvor and Mercuria are already using the platform, launched in late November, and are all strategic investors.

Vakt aims to extend it to US crude oil pipelines and Northwest Europe refined product barges later this year. Ultimately the platform could support all physically traded energy markets, it has said.

The platform manages physical energy transactions from trade entry to final settlement, eliminating reconciliation and paper-based processes. It does not involve the trade itself.

A first public launch to non-consortium licensees is expected soon, the company said. Licensees can expect efficiency cost savings of around 40% in post-trade resolution, Vakt's vice-president of business development, Lyon Hardgrave, told S&P Global Platts in November.

Other investors in the company include ANB Amro and Societe Generale.

By Joanna Sampson14 January 2019



Norwegian multinational energy company Equinor has been awarded an exploitation permit for CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The Norwegian Government announced the news on Friday, allocating an area close to the Troll oil and gas field in the North Sea. The allocation is made under the CO2-storage regulations from December 2014.

The storage is a key element of the planned full-scale project with carbon capture and storage of CO2 (CCS) in Norway.

Equinor is currently performing front-end engineering and design (FEED)-studies on storage with project partners Shell and Total.

Barclays Capital (BarCap) reaffirms its recommendation to 'overweight' and adjusts its price target from 66 to 65 euros on Total, in a sectoral note on major European oil and gas companies.

'The 38% drop in the price of Brent in 12 weeks reflects the impact of a remarkable combination of economic and political factors in a market that has largely rebalanced', notes the broker, which reduces its assumption to 60 dollars on barrel for 2019.

BarCap now expects annual budgets to be close to the low end of the target ranges, but this still means that he still has enough financial capacity to start or continue share buybacks by some industry groups.

Royal Dutch Shell on Wednesday said it has completed the acquisition of French oil major Total SA's 26 per cent stake in the company that operates 5 million tonnes per annum-Hazira LNG terminal in Gujarat.

"This brings Shell's equity interest in the venture to 100 per cent," the company said in a statement.

It, however, did not reveal the deal size.

Shell had in August 2018 announced plans to buy Total's stake in Hazira LNG and Port venture which comprises of two companies - Hazira LNG that operates an LNG regasification terminal in Gujarat and Hazira Port, which manages a direct berthing multi-cargo port at Hazira.

"Shell Gas B.V., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, announced today (Wednesday) that it has completed acquisition of 26 per cent equity interest in the Hazira LNG and Port venture in India from Total Gaz Electricit Holdings France (Total)," the statement said.
