JPM evaluates 2025/26 cash return for EU oil and gas names
** J.P.Morgan estimates that 2025/2026 cash returns would need to go down by 8% as it analyses implications for forward strips at $70 per barrel of Brent for European oil and gas names
** It notes that at that scenario,sector free cash flow yield at 10.2% for 2025 is off 2022/23 highs, but still comfortably above the historical average
** "This implies a still double-digit 2025 scenario cash yield of 11.1%, of which the div portion yields 5.8% and is covered down to a $55/bbl breakeven" - JPM
** It finds Shell SHEL.L, Eni ENI.MI, and OMV OMVV.VI as possessing the greatest optionality to sustain cash distributions at/near existing levels in 2025/26, while BP BP.L and Equinor EQNR.OL appear most vulnerable to more marked resets
** It cuts Spain's Repsol REP.MC citing lagged fiscal execution on strategic plan that leaves outlook too reliant on uncertain refining recovery
** It upgrades Austria's OMV and names the stock its preferred midcap on the total shareholder return resilience and a stronger EPS outlook
