Description: KOS Kosmos Energy January 19, 2026
Kosmos Energy Ltd. (NYSE:KOS) is a Dallas-based deep-water exploration and production firm focused on offshore oil and natural gas assets in West Africa (Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal) and the Gulf of Mexico. Founded in 2003, the company’s portfolio spans the entire value chain from seismic acquisition to field development and production.
As of its latest 2023 annual report, Kosmos generated approximately 12 mmboe of net production, with a 2024 guidance of 13–14 mmboe, driven primarily by the Jubilee field in Ghana and the newly-ramped up offshore Mauritania project. The firm’s cash-flow conversion averaged 1.2 × net income in 2023, while its net debt stood at roughly $1.1 bn, giving a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of about 2.5×. Key sector drivers include volatile Brent crude prices (currently around $85 /bbl), OPEC-plus output policies, and the high capital intensity of deep-water drilling, which together shape Kosmos’s upside potential and risk profile.
For a deeper dive into Kosmos’s valuation metrics and scenario analysis, the ValueRay profile offers a concise, data-rich overview worth reviewing.
