Carlos Slim keeps selling Talos Energy stock

The move

Control Empresarial de Capitales, Carlos Slim's family holding company, sold 1,508,586 shares of Talos Energy (TALO) on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28 at weighted-average prices of $18.50 and $18.33, an SEC Form 4 shows, leaving it with 20,491,414 shares.

Why it matters

Slim's investment vehicle has trimmed its Talos stake several times in 2026 as oil-linked stocks have rallied this year.

The bear case

Slim remains one of Talos's largest shareholders even after the sales, so this looks like profit-taking rather than an exit.

What to watch

Further Form 4 filings from Control Empresarial de Capitales if oil prices keep climbing.

Carlos Slim sells down his Talos Energy stake again

The move

Carlos Slim's investment arm, Control Empresarial de Capitales, sold about 4 million more shares of Talos Energy between October 23 and October 28, worth roughly $73.5 million combined, according to SEC filings. The sales cut its holding to about 20.5 million shares, extending a trim that began earlier in October.

Why it matters

The filings don't state a reason, but Control Empresarial has been selectively paring the position while staying near the ownership levels set out in its cooperation agreement with Talos.

The bear case

Control Empresarial still held about 24% of Talos as of mid-2026 and bought shares of Talos and PBF Energy earlier this year, so the October sales look more like trimming a large position than exiting it.

What to watch

Whether Control Empresarial's stake approaches the 25% cap set in its cooperation agreement with Talos.

Carlos Slim's firm sells $86 million of Talos Energy

The move

Control Empresarial de Capitales, Carlos Slim's holding company, sold about 4.9 million shares of Talos Energy between Oct 15 and Oct 19 for roughly $85.9 million combined, according to SEC filings. The sales cut its stake to 24.5 million shares, or 14.7% of the oil and gas company, from about 29.4 million shares.

Why it matters

Slim's firm has been a major Talos shareholder for years; a steady reduction can signal he is reallocating away from the stock.

The bear case

The filings don't say why the sales happened, and Slim's firm still owns a large, double-digit stake in the company.

What to watch

Future SEC filings from Control Empresarial de Capitales for further changes to its Talos Energy stake.

Carlos Slim's firm sells $122M in US energy stocks

The move

Control Empresarial de Capitales, Carlos Slim's holding company, sold 6.24 million shares of Talos Energy for about $106.8 million and 170,000 shares of PBF Energy for about $15 million, in trades made Oct 8-12, 2026, according to SEC Form 4 filings signed Oct 13 by Marco Antonio Slim Domit. The firm still held about 32.4 million Talos shares and 13.3 million PBF Class A shares afterward.

Why it matters

The sales trim two of the Slim family's independent bets on US offshore drilling and refining, even though the remaining stakes are still large.

The bear case

Selling roughly 16% of the Talos stake and a small slice of PBF isn't an exit — the family remains among each company's largest shareholders.

What to watch

Whether further SEC filings show the selling continuing.
