📊 MIXED Talos Energy Q1 2026: 89k boe/d, $113M free cash flow, $16/boe costs
Revenue & Profitability
Talos reported adjusted EBITDA of $293 million and adjusted free cash flow of $113 million for Q1 2026. The reinvestment rate was approximately 41%. The company returned $38 million (34% of free cash flow) to shareholders through share repurchases, and has reduced outstanding share count by about 7% since Q2 2025. Specific revenue or net income figures were not provided.
Outlook
Management highlighted that geopolitical tensions have reinforced the need for reliable and affordable hydrocarbons to meet global energy demand. They believe the U.S. Gulf of Mexico plays a critical role in supplying oil. Despite volatile commodity prices, Talos expects to execute its strategy across cycles, with a corporate free cash flow breakeven in the low $50 WTI range.
Growth Drivers
Key growth drivers include the Daenerys appraisal well (spud in Q2, results by year-end), the Monument project (first oil late 2026, operated by Beacon Offshore), and 11 new leases awarded in 2025 with eight prospects offering over 300 million boe of gross risked resource. Near-field opportunities at Katmai and Brutus redevelopment also support production. The CPN well is on track for first production in Q3 2026.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
In Q1 2026, Talos invested just under $120 million in exploration and development capital. Full-year 2026 guidance remains unchanged. The company has approximately $1 billion of liquidity, no near-term debt maturities, and a credit facility extended to 2030. Pre-investment in advanced seismic data enabled prospects to compete for capital in 2027.
Margins
Talos delivers top-decile EBITDA margins, driven by an advantaged cost structure and oil-weighted production. Q1 2026 operating costs were approximately $16 per boe, in line with the 2025 average. The company achieved a low reinvestment rate of 41%, and the Optimal Performance Plan targeting $100 million in savings for 2026 is over 40% complete after Q1.
Key Risks
Key risks highlighted include mechanical risks when drilling deep subsalt wells, volatility in oil prices and differentials, market tightening for deepwater rigs, and uncertainty in longer-dated oil prices. The Daenerys appraisal well faces reservoir and fluid property uncertainties. Geopolitical tensions and potential structural shifts in the oil market were noted as macro risks.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
