On July 2, TD Cowen trimmed its price objective on TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) from $106 to $102, but reaffirmed a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The lowered target, which still implies an upside potential of almost 31% from the current levels, comes after the firm revised its estimates in the oil majors space as part of a Q2 earnings preview.

According to the analyst, the recent “rapid correction” in crude oil prices and equities following the signing of an MoU between the US and Iran has created “pockets of opportunity” in the energy sector. TD Cowen noted that it favors Shell, Chevron, and TotalEnergies as we head into the second-quarter earnings season.
