The main question: the share price moved +65.0% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −467.5%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Kosmos Energy Ltd. share price today? Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s share price was $2.59 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 2.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $1 and $3, and at that close it sat 73% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 9 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +19% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Kosmos Energy Ltd. pay? Kosmos Energy Ltd. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Kosmos Energy Ltd. on? Kosmos Energy Ltd. is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Kosmos Energy Ltd. profitable? Kosmos Energy Ltd. earned $185 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $700 M. That is 30.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $87.7 M. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$700 M (−468.6% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Kosmos Energy Ltd. make, and is it growing? Kosmos Energy Ltd. reported $608 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +54.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −0.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.3 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.6 B. FY25 revenue was $1.3 B, −23.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +8.2% on average, against −0.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.4%, against −8.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Kosmos Energy Ltd. keep? Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s operating margin was 53.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 56.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −32.5% and 27.8%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +56.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +32.4 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 409% of Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $134 M of operating cash against −$700 M of profit. After $314 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$180 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s cash go? Kosmos Energy Ltd. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $2.2 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 56.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $2.2 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s P/E is 5.0×, with too little history to compare. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 5.4×, over 1 month of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −467.5% while the price moved +65.0%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Kosmos Energy Ltd. business getting better or worse? Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −468.6% in the latest quarter, against +181.2% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at -2.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Kosmos Energy Ltd. earn on its capital? Kosmos Energy Ltd. earned a ROE of −132% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 12.2 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −54.3% net margin and 0.27× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −54.3% net margin × 0.27× asset turnover × 8.89× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −130.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −4.5% − 7.7% = −12.2 percentage points. The 7.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The −4.5% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at −11.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Kosmos Energy Ltd. have too much debt? Kosmos Energy Ltd. has total debt of $2.8 B against shareholder equity of $705 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 3.91× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 4.99 in FY21 to 5.80 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Kosmos Energy Ltd. shareholding pattern? 5.9% of Kosmos Energy Ltd.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Kosmos Energy Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For Kosmos Energy Ltd., the Z-score is −0.22. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of −0.22 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Kosmos Energy Ltd. rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Kosmos Energy Ltd. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Oil & Gas Exploration & Production. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Kosmos Energy Ltd. compared with?
