TechnipFMC (FTI) Valuation Check as New Chevron and Ithaca Subsea Contracts Boost Growth Story
TechnipFMC (FTI) just added two meaningful wins to its backlog, landing Chevron’s Gorgon Stage 3 Subsea 2.0 systems and Ithaca Energy’s flexible riser work on the Captain field in the U.K. North Sea.
See our latest analysis for TechnipFMC.
The market seems to agree these wins matter, with TechnipFMC’s latest share price at $44.38 and a strong year to date share price return of around 50 percent. This feeds into a powerful three year total shareholder return above 270 percent and suggests momentum is still very much on TechnipFMC’s side.
If this kind of contract driven story has your attention, it could be a good moment to explore aerospace and defense stocks for more complex, project based businesses riding similar spending trends.
But with the shares already up sharply, trading near analyst targets yet still showing a hefty intrinsic discount, is TechnipFMC a mispriced cash generator in waiting, or is the market already baking in years of subsea growth?
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 3% Undervalued
With TechnipFMC trading at $44.38 against a narrative fair value of $45.75, the story leans modestly positive and leans heavily on subsea momentum.
Expansion and recurring tail of Subsea services revenues, driven by a growing installed base and long duration contracts (20 to 35 years), provide predictable, high margin income streams that underpin long term earnings stability and net margin improvement.
Curious how steady, contract backed subsea cash flows, rising margins and a richer future earnings multiple all fit together. The full narrative connects the dots in surprising ways.
Result: Fair Value of $45.75 (UNDERVALUED)

However, that upbeat story could unravel if oil price volatility delays offshore projects or if TechnipFMC is slow to pivot toward energy transition opportunities.
