Yahoo Finance Talos (TALO) Announces $100 million Share Repurchase Plan
Talos Energy Inc. TALO disclosed that its board of directors authorized a $100-million share buyback program of the company's common stock. The authorization gives Talos's management the freedom to periodically repurchase shares in the open market through private negotiations or by any other method that complies with state and federal securities laws. This is the first share repurchase authorization made by the company since its inception.
According to Talos’ president and CEO, Timothy S. Duncan, the company’s stock has traded at a considerable discount to its fundamental value for quite some time now. At current trading levels, the discount creates a buying opportunity that is too tempting to turn down. It has also led the company to revise its capital allocation framework and sanction a substantial share repurchase program.
Any share repurchases made under the share repurchase program will be timed, based on the condition of the market, any contractual restrictions and other factors. Talos also mentioned in its press release that it was under no obligation to repurchase any specific sum of money or a certain number of shares under the program, which might be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
The company intends to keep investing in catalysts, while keeping an eye on credit quality and chances to distribute extra cash flow to shareholders.
