The company is committed to a net CapEx of EUR16 billion to EUR19 billion over four years, with a focus on low-carbon projects and upstream development.

The chemicals business continued to face challenges, with a negative EBITDA contribution despite a slight improvement in margins.

The company aims to have 9 gigawatts of assets in operation by 2027, down from the previous target of 9 to 10 gigawatts, and is exploring opportunities to leverage data centers for increased returns.
Q: What is the outlook for Repsol's refining margins and the factors influencing them? A: The refining margin indicator is expected to average $6 per barrel in 2025, supported by higher demand and balanced new refining capacity. The premium over the indicator is projected at $2 per barrel, with improvements driven by energy efficiency programs and better HBO and SAP expectations.

NVDA: Morgan Stanley Says 'Time to Power Up' Nvidia Ahead of Earnings
Aug 19 - Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Nvidia and told investors now feels like time to power up for the chipmaker, sending fresh optimism into the market ahead of Nvidia's Aug. 27 Q2 FY26 report. Morgan Stanley's Joseph Moore kept a "Buy" view and nudged the target to $206, citing strong, ongoing customer demand and improving supply for Blackwell GPUs. He now models higher revenue and EPS for 2026, reflecting faster rack assembly and more shipments expected later this year and into early 2026. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Moore also expects Nvidia to hold roughly an 85% market share in AI datacenter chips next year, leaving rivals with a steep catch-up task. The analyst sees July and October revenue beats relative to prior estimates and raised his 2026 revenue/EPS outlook accordingly. While China licensing and supply variables could influence near-term results, the firm's updated forecasts underline a durable demand backdrop from hyperscale cloud customers and growing traction among smaller cloud buyers. That mix helps explain why Wall Street looks bullish heading into the quarter. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Aug 20 - Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) shares slipped about 7% on Wednesday after the retailer posted mixed second quarter results and announced a leadership transition. The market reaction reflected weaker year-over-year earnings despite signs of operational improvement. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with TGT. Second quarter net sales came in at $25.2 billion, down 0.9% from the prior year. The drop was smaller than in the first quarter, showing that traffic and sales trends are stabilizing, particularly in stores. All six core merchandising categories saw sequential improvements, while digital comparable sales advanced 4.3% on the back of over 25% growth in same-day delivery through Target Circle 360 and continued strength in Drive Up. Non-merchandise revenue also expanded, climbing 14.2% with solid growth in advertising, membership, and marketplace services. Adjusted and GAAP earnings per share landed at $2.05, below the $2.57 earned in 2024, as higher costs and tariff pressures weighed on profitability. Along with results, the board said Monday it has elected Michael Fiddelke as Target's next CEO, succeeding Brian Cornell. The naming is consistent in leadership as the retailer takes the retailer into the high-stakes back-to-school and holiday selling seasons. Based on the one year price targets offered by 30 analysts, the average target price for Target Corp is $105.48 with a high estimate of $140.00 and a low estimate of $82.00.
