TotalEnergies recently announced significant corporate changes, including the expiration of key directorships, reflecting a continued focus on corporate governance. Further, expansion efforts, such as the Northern Lights project and the Grandpuits refinery conversion, illustrate the company’s commitment to sustainability. Despite these efforts, TotalEnergies experienced a price move of 1.72% last quarter, which coincides with broader market volatility triggered by a global trade war that affected many energy stocks. While the company increased its dividend, the overlapping decline in global oil prices and broader economic concerns exerted downward pressure on the stock price.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 26 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early.

The last five years have seen TotalEnergies achieve a remarkable total return of 116.01%. A key contributor to this performance is the company's focus on renewable energy and sustainability projects. Notably, in June 2021, TotalEnergies commenced an expansion of the EV charging network in Amsterdam, adding 2,200 charging points, which aligns with their sustainability roadmap. The completion of a major solar project for Betagro in Thailand the same month underscores its commitment to clean energy. Additionally, the name change to TotalEnergies in May 2021 signifies the company's broader energy transformation vision.

Another significant driver has been strategic alliances, such as the collaboration with France-KLM and Airbus in May 2021 to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel, enhancing its green credentials. In contrast to its long-term success, TotalEnergies underperformed compared to the French market over the past year, matching a 20% return decline in the industry. Despite these challenges, the company has maintained a solid dividend strategy, consistently increasing returns to shareholders.
