HOUSTON - Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE:TALO), an offshore energy producer with $2.06 billion in revenue and strong gross margins of 73%, announced a new corporate strategy on Tuesday aimed at positioning itself as a leading pure-play offshore exploration and production company. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.
Paul Goodfellow, who joined as President and Chief Executive Officer in March, outlined three strategic pillars during a conference call with investors.
