TotalEnergies SE declared a second interim dividend of €0.90 per share for fiscal year 2026, an increase of 5.9% compared to the dividends paid for fiscal year 2025. The Board of Directors, chaired by CEO Patrick Pouyanné, approved the distribution on July 22, 2026, aligning with the company's policy to prioritize dividend growth reflecting cash flow expansion.

The dividend will be paid exclusively in cash. Shareholders on Euronext will receive payment on January 5, 2027, while those on the NYSE will receive payment on January 22, 2027. The ex-dividend date for both markets is set for December 31, 2026. To ensure orderly payment, a transfer freeze between the two markets will be in effect from December 30, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. New York time until the opening of the Euronext market on January 5, 2027.

For shareholders on the U.S. register, the dividend will be paid in U.S. dollars. The applicable EUR/USD exchange rate will be the WM/Refinitiv Intra-Day spot rate published at 2:00 p.m. Paris time on January 14, 2027. The record date for NYSE-listed shares remains December 31, 2026.

The Board emphasized that future interim or final annual dividends beyond this payment have not yet been decided or approved. The decision to distribute dividends and the determination of their amount and dates remain at the full discretion of the Board, subject to factors such as financial results, balance sheet strength, and commodity prices.

TotalEnergies SE has reached a Final Investment Decision for the Umm Shaif Gas Cap development in the Umm Shaif and Nasr offshore concession, targeting significant gas production growth by 2030. The company holds a 20% interest in the project alongside ADNOC (60%), CNPC (10%) and ENI (10%), with ADNOC Offshore serving as the operator. This strategic move is designed to unlock more than 600 million cubic feet per day of gas production initially, with the potential to increase to up to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day in the future.

Project Partners and Production Targets

The development leverages a partnership structure with major international and regional energy firms. ADNOC retains the majority stake, while TotalEnergies, CNPC, and ENI hold minority interests. The project's phased approach aims to ramp up production capacity significantly over the coming decade.

Operational Outlook and Guidance

TotalEnergies indicated that second-quarter production should reflect organic growth in line with its 4% quarterly guidance. The company estimated the impact from the Middle East conflict at approximately 210,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an improvement from the 360,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day reduction projected in the previous quarter. This recovery in production levels contributes to the company's broader upstream cash flow expectations.

Earnings Preview and Analyst Consensus

TotalEnergies is scheduled to report earnings on July 23. Analysts estimate an EPS of $2.75, up from $1.57 year-over-year, and revenue of $51.90 billion, compared to $49.63 billion in the prior year.

Recent analyst actions include Mizuho initiating with an Outperform rating and a target of $103, and Scotiabank raising its target to $97.
