TALO TALOS ENERGY INC. Insider Trading

10% owner Control Empresarial De Capitales sold 339.6K shares of TALO at $16.80 on 2026-05-20 for $5.7M

Control Empresarial De Capitales, holding 40.46M shares post-transaction, sold 339,568 shares at $16.80, reducing its stake by 0.8%. This occurs against a backdrop of significant company headwinds: Talos Energy reported $-256.2M net income in its latest quarter and -9.8% annual revenue growth, with the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The 10% owner's prior two sales at this ticker (on 2026-03-27 and 2026-03-26) both achieved well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark, suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of price weakness. The current stock price of $16.04 sits 5.9% below the 52-week high of $17.05, yet remains 7.6% higher over the past 30 days and 18.7% higher over 90 days—metrics that could reflect recent partial recovery in a volatile period. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed sell rate across 20 prior sales, though with a -9.8% average 90-day return, indicating a consistent pattern of exiting before declines.

At the same-ticker level, Control Empresarial's prior 2 sells at TALO (2026-03-26 and 2026-03-27) both showed negative 90-day returns (-10.5% and -0.4%), and across all tickers, the insider's 20 prior sells achieved a 100.00% well-timed rate with average 90-day returns of -9.8%. The current stock price of $16.20 sits -4.7% from the 52-week high and recently gained +17.0% over 30 days, providing context for the timing of this stake reduction by a major shareholder.

This sale occurs within a steep rally context: TALO has gained 45.7% over 90 days and 33.2% over 30 days, trading near its 52-week high of $16.57. The timing coincides with the stock at peak valuation levels despite underlying fundamentals showing material weakness—the company posted negative annual net income of $-95,905,000.00 and revenue declined 9.8% year-over-year. The seller's cross-ticker track record includes 20 prior sells.

This represents a continuation of rapid accumulation at this ticker—the owner completed 5 separate purchases within a 24-day window (2024-09-03 through 2024-09-27), none yet measurable for 90-day performance. The stock is trading at $10.43, down -38.2% from its 52-week high of $16.88 and down -9.1% over the past 30 days, suggesting the series of buys have occurred in a declining environment.

10% owner Control Empresarial de Capitales purchased 2,397,000 shares for $26,547,133.60 across two trades in early September at blended average $11.08.

Control Empresarial de Capitales, a 10% shareholder in Talos Energy, purchased 2,397,000 shares (547,000 at $10.92 on 2024-09-03 and 1,850,000 at $11.12 on 2024-09-04) totaling $26,547,133.60, increasing its stake to 42,535,904 shares, a 6.0% increase relative to pre-transaction holdings. The company trades at a P/E of 6.92 against a market cap of $1,943,860,106.24, with annual revenue declining 11.8% year-over-year despite current quarterly revenue of $549,165,000.00 and net income of $12,381,000.00. The stock is currently down 37.7% from its 52-week high of $17.32 but has risen 6.6% over the past 30 days. Prior trades by this insider at Talos Energy show mixed results: recent buys on 2024-08-05 and 2024-08-02 showed 30-day gains of 8.2% and 4.7% respectively, but the insider's cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys averaged a -5.4% 30-day return. The material size of this accumulation ($26.5M) by a substantial stakeholder merits monitoring, though the declining revenue trend and historical underperformance of this insider's buy activity elsewhere warrant caution.

10% Owner Control Empresarial de Capitales buys 650,000 TALO shares at $10.38; cross-ticker track record shows -9.1% avg 30d return

Control Empresarial de Capitales S.A. de C.V., a substantial 10% shareholder, purchased 650,000 shares on 2024-08-07 at $10.38, bringing holdings to 40,138,904 shares. This purchase follows a rapid series of four prior buys at TALO between 2024-06-18 and 2024-08-05, indicating sustained accumulation at depressed levels—the current price of $11.65 sits 32.7% below the 52-week high of $17.32. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record across 20 open-market buys shows an average 30-day return of -9.1%, suggesting a pattern of entering positions that weaken in the short term. At TALO specifically, only one prior trade has a measurable outcome: the 2024-06-18 buy posted a +6.8% 30-day return. The company is trading at a P/E of 7.47 on trailing fundamentals ($12.4M net income on $549.2M revenue) with annual revenue declining 11.8% year-over-year, which may reflect operational headwinds rather than valuation opportunity. Investors should track whether this accumulation pattern represents genuine conviction or follows the insider's historical tendency to purchase ahead of near-term weakness.

10% Owner Control Empresarial purchases 343,000 TALO shares at $9.99; stock down 40.5% from 52-week high amid -$112.4M net income.

This acquisition occurred as the stock trades 40.5% below its 52-week high and 11.6% lower over the prior 30 days. The company faces structural headwinds: latest quarterly net income was -$112,439,000.00 with annual revenue declining 11.8% year-over-year, though the P/E of 6.61 reflects a suppressed valuation. Four additional purchases at TALO followed this transaction (2024-08-01, 08-02, 08-07), establishing a rapid accumulation pattern within a compressed timeframe. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys averaging a -9.1% 30-day return, but same-ticker history at TALO provides limited outcome data; only one prior TALO buy (2024-06-18) has a measurable 30-day return of +6.8%, with no 90-day benchmarks yet available for timing validation.

The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with average 30-day return of -8.2%, and prior transactions at TALO have not yielded measurable positive outcomes at the 90-day mark, suggesting this buyer does not have a demonstrated pattern of purchasing ahead of meaningful rebounds.
