Here is how Eni SpA (E) and Imperial Oil (IMO) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
E's shares rise 66.1% as higher earnings estimates, production growth and LNG momentum boost its outlook, despite refining and chemical challenges.
Q2 results and higher CFFO guidance reinforce Eni's ability to fund shareholder returns while maintaining a conservative balance sheet. Buybacks and a potential special dividend could support a double-digit shareholder yield over the next twelve months. Progress across Indonesia, Plenitude, Venezuela, and CCS continues to validate Eni's satellite strategy and unlock value beyond traditional upstream operations.
E's planned Indonesian asset sales to Pertamina and Medco unlock value from its gas portfolio while preserving exposure to long-term production growth.
