Talos Energy posts $81.2 million Q3 net loss, raises 2026 production guidance

Talos Energy reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss of $81.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, on total revenues of $596.0 million. Adjusted net income was $99.3 million, or $0.58 per share, and the company raised its full-year 2026 production guidance while lowering its capital expenditure range. The mixed result matters to shareholders because the GAAP loss contrasts with higher adjusted profit and higher output.
