The operating profit margin of Talos Energy has shown significant fluctuations over the analyzed period. Starting at a high of 20.81% in March 2020, the margin declined sharply in the subsequent quarters, reaching negative values by the end of 2020. This negative trend continued into early 2021 with a margin of -53.40% in March 2021.

However, from December 2021 onwards, there was a noticeable improvement in the operating profit margin, with positive values reappearing. The margin reached a peak of 46.19% in September 2022 before moderating slightly to 8.76% by December 2024.

These fluctuations in the operating profit margin indicate that Talos Energy experienced challenges in maintaining profitability during certain periods but managed to recover and strengthen its margins in the later quarters. Further analysis would be needed to understand the specific factors driving these changes and to assess the company's overall financial performance.
