Mizuho reiterates Outperform rating on Talos Energy stock with $11 target

Investing.com - Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) maintained its Outperform rating and $11.00 price target on Talos Energy (NYSE:TALO) ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings report on August 6. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued despite falling 9.4% in the past week, with analysts setting targets as high as $20.

The investment firm expects Talos to deliver quarterly results in line with consensus estimates, with slightly lower production and pricing likely to be offset by lower-than-anticipated capital expenditures. The company has maintained strong operational efficiency with a 72.8% gross profit margin and $1.4 billion in EBITDA over the last twelve months.

Mizuho highlighted that investors should focus on updates regarding the strategic plan Talos announced on June 17, which centers on operational efficiency and capital discipline, as well as early performance results from the Sunspear and Katmai West #2 wells.

The firm noted that the new strategic direction under incoming management makes only incremental changes to project timing and priorities compared to previous plans, with projected additional free cash flow of $100 million from cost savings being the key update.

Mizuho also anticipates management commentary on potential benefits from the recently passed legislation referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill" during the upcoming earnings call.
