Jefferies upgrades Repsol and TotalEnergies, cuts Galp in European oil review
** Jefferies expects buybacks to drive higher valuations in the European oil industry as it rolls forward its sector estimates to FY27 ** It upgrades TotalEnergies TTEF.PA and Repsol REP.MC to "buy", while cutting Galp Energia GALP.LS to "underperform" on valuation concerns ** The broker praises Repsol and Total's strategic consistency and resilience, seeing value growth beyond buyback effects ** In contrast, Galp's growth expectations look unrealistic given its strategy which has been overly focused on the Mopane field in recent years, Jefferies says RATING AND PT CHANGES:
