Why TotalEnergies Stock Slumped Today
TotalEnergies beat on revenue for the quarter, but fell short of the consensus analyst estimate for profitability.
Not surprisingly, it was affected by the slump in global oil prices.
10 stocks we like better than TotalEnergies ›
The stock market wasn't particularly energetic when it came to fuel and chemicals conglomerate TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE) on Thursday. The company's stock took a hit following its release of second-quarter earnings, and it closed the day down almost 3%. Other stocks did better, as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) eked out a marginal gain.
Oil price slump
TotalEnergies, which is headquartered in France but reports in the energy industry's standard currency of U.S. dollars, published its latest set of financial figures that morning. The company's net revenue was slightly under $44.7 billion, comparing unfavorably to the nearly $49.2 billion it booked in the same period of 2024.
That top-line result was more than high enough to trounce the average analyst estimate, which was a bit under $39.9 billion.
Yet the erosion in non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted net income was more drastic. That critical line item fell by 21% year over year to $3.6 billion ($1.57 per share). Worse, that per-share figure was notably below the consensus pundit projection of $1.67.
TotalEnergies suffered from a general decline in oil prices, which it said slid by 10% during the quarter. It put a positive spin on its recent struggles by quoting CEO Patrick Pouyanne as saying that the company "continued to successfully execute its balanced multi-energy strategy, supported by sustained growth in hydrocarbon and electricity production."
A gloomy outlook
In TotalEnergies's outlook for the current (third) quarter, the company waxed bearish about the prospects for its industry. It said that due to geopolitical and economic developments, oil prices are volatile at the moment, with the industry coping with an "abundant" supply (which, all things being equal, tends to dampen prices).
While it forecast that it would spend a net amount of $17 billion to $17.5 billion in investments over the course of this year, it did not provide any revenue or profitability guidance in its earnings release.

Integer Holdings' (NYSE:ITGR) earnings growth rate lags the 11% CAGR delivered to shareholders
While Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE:ITGR) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 12% in the last quarter. But at least the stock is up over the last five years. Unfortunately its return of 65% is below the market return of 100%. While the stock has fallen 3.5% this week, it's worth focusing on the longer term and seeing if the stocks historical returns have been driven by the underlying fundamentals. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During five years of share price growth, Integer Holdings achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 1.4% per year. This EPS growth is slower than the share price growth of 11% per year, over the same period. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth. This optimism is visible in its fairly high P/E ratio of 45.37. The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Integer Holdings' earnings, revenue and cash flow. A Different Perspective While the broader market gained around 19% in the last year, Integer Holdings shareholders lost 7.1%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 11%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for Integer Holdings (1 doesn't sit too well with us) that you should be aware of. Of course Integer Holdings may not be the best stock to buy.
