Nous avons sélectionné 10 graphiques afin d’identifier les principaux drivers du secteur. Les Capex sont attendus en repli de 1.5% en 2026 après un rebond de 70% depuis le point bas de 2020. Cette baisse proviendra essentiellement du marché US (plus forte discipline compte tenu de points morts plus élevés). Nous privilégions SBM Offshore (Surperformance, OC 45 €), Vallourec (Surperformance, OC 22 € vs 20.8 €) et Technip Energies (Surperformance, OC 49 €) et adoptons une opinion plus prudente sur...
For the start of 2026, we have selected ten charts to identify the sector's main drivers. Capex is expected to fall by 1.5% in 2026 after a 70% rebound from the low point of 2020. This reduction will mainly come from the US market (greater discipline due to higher breakeven points). At this point in the year, we prefer SBM Offshore (Outperform, target price € 45), Vallourec (Outperform, target price € 22 vs € 20.8) and Technip Energies (Outperform, target price € 49) and have adopted a more caut...

We refresh our ING Benelux Favourites list. We apply a fundamental bottom up approach in which we select stocks which provide the best upside within our Benelux coverage universe and these stocks need clear catalysts. Additions/deletions: We add the following names to the ING Benelux Favourites list: Ageas: Ageas has done multiple deals; its most recent purchase of the 25% stake BNP Paribas had in its Belgian ops, is an accretive deal and we believe makes the Belgian operations ready for a pot...
We see no reason to change our positive view on SBM Offshore and keep it on our ING Benelux Favourites list. We raise our target price to €37.50 from €27.70 previously. The company is positioned in the prime segment of the FPSO market, where major oil firms are selecting the best deepwater sites to develop oil at break-even levels, generally in a range of US$20-35 per barrel. Where adequate infrastructure misses, FPSOs are the optimal solution for these large oil fields. SBMO's well-developed ne...
La saison de résultats ne devrait pas apporter de mauvaises surprises concernant la fin 2025 (cf. messages rassurants lors de nos conférences et des pre-close calls) mais les perspectives 2026 devraient rester prudentes face au manque de visibilité. Face à cela, les managements vont à nouveau concentrer leurs efforts sur les leviers internes et l’agilité mais le sentiment sur le secteur pourrait rester fragile à court terme, nous conduisant à maintenir nos estimations prudentes et une approche o...
Earnings season is unlikely to bring any negative surprises for the end of 2025 (cf. the reassuring messages shared during our conferences and pre-close calls). However, the outlook for 2026 is likely to remain cautious given the limited visibility. As a result, management teams are expected to once again concentrate on internal levers and operational agility. Still, sector sentiment should remain fragile in the near term, leading us to maintain our cautious estimates and a stock-picking stance....
