Barclays analyst J. David Anderson raised the firm’s price target on TechnipFMC (FTI) to $42 from $37 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. With the “bearish” oil macro environment weighing on global spending and investor sentiment, the firm downgraded the energy services sector to Neutral from Positive. The cycle is slowing and global spending is projected to be flat in 2025 with downside risk, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says “it’s a pause, not the end of the cycle,” with the next leg driven by deepwater, but adds that upstream spending “could get worse before better.” Barclays recommends owning the “idiosyncratic names” with less upstream spending exposure that can re-rate.
