Repsol shares fell slightly on Wednesday in Madrid following the publication of mixed Q2 results.

The Spanish energy company reported yesterday evening that it produced 557,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the upstream segment during the quarter, compared with 540,000 in Q1.

This figure is higher than the market consensus of 547,000 barrels per day.

The refining margin calculated from its operations in Spain stood at $5.9 per barrel, compared with $5.3 in the previous quarter, a performance in line with analysts' forecasts.

However, capacity utilization for distilled products in Spain deteriorated to 74% from 83.4% in Q1, mainly due to the massive power outage at the end of April.

These figures were met with a mixed response from the financial community.

We expect consensus forecasts to be revised down by around 10% due to the additional costs associated with the blackout and the seasonal slump in gas trading, despite higher volumes, RBC says.

Meanwhile, Oddo BHF considers this activity level to be favorable given the improvement in refining margins and in the chemical sector, albeit offset by lower capacity utilisation, and solid upstream volumes, although counterbalanced by a contraction in oil prices.

On the Madrid Stock Exchange, the share price fell 0.6% in early trading on Wednesday, underperforming both the IBEX 35 index and the pan-European STOXX Europe 600 Oil & Gas sector index.
