Talos Energy ( (TALO) ) has shared an update.
Talos Energy reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 24, 2026, highlighting average production of 89.2 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in the quarter and 94.6 thousand barrels per day for the year, along with adjusted EBITDA of $240.1 million for the quarter and $1.2 billion for 2025. Despite generating $417.7 million in adjusted free cash flow in 2025 and strengthening its balance sheet with low leverage and $362.8 million in cash, the company posted a full-year net loss of $494.3 million driven largely by $454.5 million of non-cash ceiling test impairments.
Operationally, Talos advanced key Gulf of Mexico projects, including expanding throughput at its Tarantula facility to a record 38 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, bringing the Cardona well online under budget in early 2026, and successfully drilling the CPN well with first production expected in the second half of 2026. The company also reported a significant discovery at the Daenerys prospect in August 2025, was named apparent high bidder on 11 new Gulf of America leases in December 2025, and retained a strategic role in the Zama project offshore Mexico as operator responsibilities shifted to Harbour Energy.
Talos intensified capital returns in 2025 by repurchasing 12.6 million shares for $119.1 million, equivalent to roughly 29% of annual free cash flow and reducing its share count by about 7%, while leaving $81 million remaining under its authorization at year-end. The company simultaneously launched and outperformed its Optimal Performance Plan for Cash Flow Enhancements, delivering $72 million versus a $25 million 2025 target and positioning itself to meet a $100 million target in 2026, and extended its $700 million credit facility maturity to 2030, reinforcing liquidity as it executes its offshore-focused growth strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (TALO) stock is a Buy with a $13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Talos Energy stock, see the TALO Stock Forecast page.
