RBC Adjusts Equinor Forecasts After Strategic Update; Underperform Retained

RBC Capital Markets adjusted its forecasts for Equinor (EQNR.OL) as it took into account the Norwegian energy company's recent strategic update, expecting increased oil volumes from Norway over the medium term.In a Wednesday note, the research firm increased its EPS estimates by 2.9% for 2026, 10.4% for 2027 and 19% for 2028. Forecasts for net production and cash flow from operations were also raised over the three-year period."Equinor's strategic update outlined plans to continue growing its international upstream portfolio and sustain the Norwegian business, while low carbon spend looks set to remain much more modest than envisaged a few years ago. Underlying margins should improve as the mix shifts away from the [Norwegian Continental Shelf] towards International barrels, and this is supportive of higher FCF," analysts wrote. "We weigh this against our more cautious view on gas macro, and Equinor's relative valuation."Analysts view Equinor as moving to "less extraordinary" times and a more "normal" balance sheet position after benefiting from a particularly strong cycle for European gas prices over the last few years.The stock's underperform rating was retained, with a price target of 360 Norwegian kroner.

IEA Forecasts Oil Market Recovery in 2027 After US-Iran Deal

The International Energy Agency expects the oil market to recover in 2027 following weak demand amid disruptions arising from the Middle East war, after the US and Iran reached an interim peace deal that could lead to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.In its June oil market report published Wednesday, the IEA said global oil demand is anticipated to decline by 1.1 million barrels per day year over year in 2026, a downgrade of 700,000 barrels per day from its previous month's forecast, as deliveries fell in the second quarter due to increased fuel prices and supply disruptions. Meanwhile, global supply is forecast to drop by 3.9 million barrels of oil per day on average in 2026, to 102.4 million barrels per day, before rebounding to 110.3 million barrels per day in the next year."Further declines in the coming months could still take global oil stocks to historic lows before the market balance shifts to surplus towards the end of the year," the IEA noted.Looking ahead, a rebound in demand growth of a "modest" 2 million barrels per day is projected in 2027 as trade flow normalizes, oil prices decline and the economic outlook brightens, under the assumption that the deal holds."While the US‑Iran interim agreement paves the way for a rebound in Middle East exports, operational and political constraints, including prolonged demining and unresolved transit arrangements, leave downside risks to the outlook," the IEA said.The US-Iran agreement is set to be signed on Friday in Switzerland.
