After failing to meet its projections in 2024, stock market investors’ confidence in Total Energies, an oil and gas company, dropped in the first quarter of 2025.

The lack of interest among stock market investors led to the value of investments held by Total Energies’ shareholders dropping by 2.62 percent between January to March this year.
