TotalEnergies is in talks with Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras to jointly explore potential business opportunities outside Brazil, Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne said on Monday.
Petrobras is a highly profitable Brazilian energy firm with a significant EBITDA size. The firm is also growing its production and has attractive capital return potential. Petrobras generates a high amount of free cash flow and offers dividend investors a healthy ~13% yield. Trading at a forward P/E ratio of 4.4X, Petrobras is undervalued, even when considering government control and currency devaluation risks.

I maintain a "Hold" rating on Petrobras stock due to ongoing political and geographical risks, despite its undervaluation and strong FCF generation capacity. Petrobras's strategic focus on pre-salt deepwater resources has improved profitability, but recent declines in ROCE and profitability raise concerns. Increased CapEx plans and challenges in obtaining environmental licenses could hinder future growth, especially if oil prices fall or remain flat.
