Quarterly results

ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).

E/P over time

E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.

Today's P/E sits at the 100 percentile of its own 4-quarter history (min 3.4, median 13.9, max 20.7; quarters with earnings only).

Memo

ENI S.P.A. (ENI.MI). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 82.2 bn EUR in 2025; YoY growth -7.5%; net margin 3.2%; ROE 5.2%; net debt/EBITDA 1.4x.

The estimated value range is 15.04–24.66 EUR per share (median of 4 methods, agreement: medium); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 20.76 EUR, the price of 25.36 EUR leaves a potential of -18.1% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -22.1% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 32/100, methodological classification: unattractive profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: returns. Not investment advice.

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

  • Net debt / EBITDA: 1.4x
  • Interest coverage: 0.6x
  • P/E (TTM): 32.5x

In brief

Eni is an integrated oil and gas company active in exploration, production, liquefied natural gas and refining, with major operations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Its relevance now comes from new projects in Norway, Angola, Congo and Egypt that strengthen production and LNG liquefaction capacity 1.

SWOT

Strengths

  • Diversified production portfolio across several regions and integrated capability from exploration to LNG.
  • Solid partnerships with state companies and international operators that ease access to new licences.
  • Operating experience in complex offshore projects such as Johan Castberg and Agogo.

Weaknesses

  • Dependence on several countries with high political and regulatory risk can affect production predictability.
  • Many assets operate under PSAs, which limits the share of production that stays with the company.
  • Partial stake sales reduce exposure to discoveries but can also lower future value.

Opportunities

  • Monetising discoveries in the Eastern Mediterranean through existing infrastructure in Egypt.
  • Expanding LNG capacity if demand for liquefied gas grows in European and African markets.
  • Developing renewable and carbon capture projects, such as Ravenna CCS.

Threats

  • Stricter rules on methane and carbon emissions could raise operating costs.
  • Political instability in Libya and other operating countries can delay projects.
  • Changes in oil and gas prices can affect the returns on new investments.

Risks

  • Regulatory and licensing riskmedium

    Legislative changes in host countries, such as the annulment of PiTESAI in Italy, can alter deadlines and operating conditions.

  • Geopolitical risk in North Africahigh

    Operations in Libya and Algeria are exposed to political instability and security issues, which can delay project timelines.

  • Project execution riskmedium

    Large offshore projects, such as NGC and Greater PAJ, depend on installation and partner approvals, with potential for delay.

  • Environmental and methane riskmedium

    Requirements to quantify and reduce methane emissions can raise compliance costs at operating sites.

  • Divestment and portfolio risklow

    Stake sales, if postponed or not completed, can change the financing structure of projects.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If new discoveries in Norway, Angola and the Eastern Mediterranean reach production at the announced levels, the upstream portfolio could grow significantly.
  • LNG capacity, including the stake in Damietta, could provide a solid position if demand for liquefied gas stays high.
  • The partial stake sale programme could release capital for new investments if transactions close on schedule.

What would break the thesis

  • If oil and gas prices fall, returns on new projects could come in below expectations.
  • Delays in regulatory approvals or asset sales could postpone expected production and cash flows.
  • Geopolitical tensions in operating regions can raise security costs and reduce predictability.

What to watch

  • Start of production at the Agogo and NGC projects in Angola2026
  • Completion of the 25% Congo FLNG stake sale to Vitol2026
  • Final investment decision for the Cronos project in Cyprus2026
  • Exploration results from offshore block O1 in Libyanext 10-K

Products, market & competition

The business

Exploration and production is carried out under concession regimes, mainly in Western countries, and through Production Sharing Agreements (PSA), mainly in Africa, the Middle East and the Far East 1. Eni pays royalties and income taxes under each country's rules, and contract duration varies by area 1. In 2025 new production started at Johan Castberg and Balder-X in Norway and at Agogo in Angola 1.

The company is reorganising its upstream portfolio through partial stake sales, anticipating the monetisation of discoveries, for example the sale of a 30% stake in Baleine to Vitol in Côte d’Ivoire 1. Stakes in Vår Energi and other companies are managed separately and influence consolidated production 1.

Local development is part of the operating model: education, health and agricultural programmes in Italy, Egypt, Libya, Angola and Congo, carried out with local institutions and international organisations 1.

Segments

Exploration and production (upstream)

The upstream segment covers concessions and PSAs in Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Angola, Congo and Côte d’Ivoire 1. In Norway, five commercial discoveries were made in 2025, and Johan Castberg has an expected production plateau of 220 thousand barrels per day 1.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

Eni participates in several LNG chains, including the Damietta plant in Egypt, with its own capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per year 1. In Congo, Nguya FLNG completes Phase 2 of the Congo LNG project 1.

Market context

Upstream activity depends on oil and gas prices, exploration costs and licensing conditions in each country, factors that vary widely between regions 1. Demand for liquefied natural gas is an important outlet for gas discovered in Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean 1.

European and African markets are the most relevant for new projects, and partnerships with state companies such as Sonatrach in Algeria or SOCAR in Côte d’Ivoire are part of the market strategy 1.

Trends

  • Discoveries in Africa and the Mediterraneantailwind

    Recent discoveries in Angola, Côte d’Ivoire and Cyprus, and access to existing infrastructure in Egypt, expand the resource base for production and LNG 1.

  • Methane regulationheadwind

    The EU regulation on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector requires extensive quantification and monitoring at operating sites in Italy 1.

  • Local energy transitionmixed

    Projects such as Ravenna CCS, the CEO Oyo renewables centre and photovoltaic installations in Tunisia show a move towards diversification 1.

  • Licensing policy in Italymixed

    The 2024 annulment of PiTESAI restored the original regime for mining titles, allowing ten exploration permits to be reassigned in 2025 1.

Competitive position

Eni competes in the global oil and gas market with other integrated companies and national companies, especially for exploration licences and LNG contracts 1. Access to licences depends on tender processes and relationships with granting states 1.

Where Eni operates through partnerships, competition also shows in negotiating stakes and asset sales, such as those to Vitol or SOCAR 1.

  • TotalEnergies

    European integrated competitor, active in LNG and upstream projects in Africa and the Middle East, with a portfolio similar to Eni's.

  • Shell

    British integrated company present in Norway and in joint projects with Eni in Basilicata, making it both competitor and partner.

  • Equinor

    Norwegian state company with intense activity in the Barents Sea and North Sea, in direct competition for Norwegian licences.

  • Vitol

    Energy asset trader and investor that bought stakes in Eni projects in Congo and Côte d’Ivoire, acting as both partner and competitor for assets.
