| Forward EPS estimate | $1.66 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect TALO to earn is materially higher (+46.6%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

Talos Energy Inc. (TALO): score, valuation & FAQ
Talos Energy Inc. (TALO) is an Oil & Gas E&P company that scores 34.9 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a weak reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/S (B+). On valuation, TALO sits about 85% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking 25% or more next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.
Is TALO a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores TALO 34.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a weak reading. That is driven by P/S (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Talos Energy Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does TALO score 34.9 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 42.4 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 29.6 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. TALO earns its highest marks on P/S (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so TALO is measured against Oil & Gas E&P peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is TALO overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $16.80, TALO sits about 85% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking 25% or more next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in TALO?
Currently unprofitable (margin -20.5%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. ROE -20% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate. Commodity exposure — earnings power tracks the price of the underlying commodity, not management execution. A 15-20% move in the commodity reprices the equity well before fundamentals catch up.
