TotalEnergies SE

TotalEnergies, based in Paris, is one of the world's largest integrated energy majors, producing and refining oil and gas while building a sizeable business in electricity, solar and wind as it navigates the energy transition. Its scale spans exploration, refining, chemicals, petrol stations and a fast-growing power arm. TotalEnergies is a cornerstone income stock, paying a high, dependable dividend that it maintained even through the pandemic oil crash, topped up with large share buybacks. Earnings swing with volatile oil and gas prices, but a generous, resilient yield backed by strong cash flow underpins its high DiviScore.
