Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $5.6B in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Technip Energies is an engineering and technology company that helps energy companies design and build large, complex industrial facilities. Its main products and services include engineering for liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, hydrogen production units, petrochemical facilities, and offshore energy infrastructure. The company works with major oil and gas producers, national energy companies, and industrial clients around the world.

Technip Energies makes money by winning large contracts to plan, design, and manage the construction of these facilities, earning fees tied to project milestones. It operates globally, with a strong presence in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, and generates roughly $7 billion in annual revenue. The company's competitive edge comes from deep technical expertise and a portfolio of proprietary technologies, particularly in LNG — a market seeing strong long-term demand. The main risk is that its business depends heavily on large project awards, which can be delayed or canceled when energy prices fall or clients cut capital spending.
