Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 41% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 8, 2025
Talos shares are now at their lowest point in eight months, but early signs hint the fall may be ending as buying interest starts to rise. Management plans to add about $100 million in extra yearly cash by 2026, and an outside study says the stock is worth around $16. With oil selling above $80 a barrel the company can earn strong profits, yet hurricane season and project hiccups remain threats. If the price forms a solid base it could reach $12-$13 within a few months.
Primary drivers
- Very low momentum plus first weekly uptick hints the sell-off may be ending
- Plan to add $100 million a year by 2026 could lead investors to reprice shares
- Oil above $80 means each new barrel brings in high profit for Talos right now
- Independent study points to roughly 45 percent upside from the current price
How it played out
TALO: target was not reached by window end
Lyra published TALO at $8.90 on July 8, 2025, with expected growth of 40% and a target of $12.47. The thesis pointed to very low momentum with a first weekly uptick, a plan to add about $100 million a year by 2026, oil above $80, and an outside study that pointed to roughly 45 percent upside.
Inside the July 8 to October 6 window, the stock rose but never reached the target. It peaked at $10.37 on September 26, a 16.4% gain, then ended at $10.24. The thesis partially played out on direction, but missed on the published target.
