Saipem SpA (SAPMY) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Italy's Saipem can win contracts for post-Iran-war repair work in the Middle East by leveraging its long-term relationships with customers in the region, the energy services group's chief executive said on Wednesday.

TechnipFMC demonstrates strong margin improvement through disciplined project bidding and integrated delivery, nearing its medium-term margin targets. FTI's backlog growth is robust, particularly in subsea, with later-stage projects expected to further support margin expansion as legacy contracts roll off. But relative valuation favors Saipem, which trades at a significant discount to FTI and stands to benefit from margin recovery, backlog digestion, and Subsea 7 merger synergies.

Saipem (SAPMF) remains independent pre-merger with Subsea 7, but its valuation appears less compelling than peers like JGC Holdings despite its discount to Subsea 7. Margin expansion is notable, yet legacy poor-margin contracts still weigh on profitability, with some completing by mid-2026. So there's more boost to come to margins. Execution risks are now present, especially as 38% of backlog is Middle East–exposed and regional conflicts may delay contract signings and revenue.
