Galp Energia reported a mixed performance in its Q4 2025 trading update. While upstream production saw a modest 2% increase, refining activity plummeted. Raw materials processed in the Industrial & Midstream division fell 56% year-over-year, indicating a substantial reduction in refinery operations. This shift reflects the volatility impacting the energy sector.

Despite the refining downturn, Galp's refining margin improved 32% to $6.9 per barrel. However, oil product supply decreased 21%. Conversely, natural gas and LNG supply and trading volumes surged by 54%. The Commercial segment showed a 4% decrease in oil product client sales. Renewable generation also declined, dropping 51% from the previous quarter.

Renewable prices improved to €50/MWh. Galp's full Q4 and FY25 results will be released on March 2.
