# Kosmos Energy Ltd. (KOS.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price 206p, market value 1.2 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Kosmos Energy Ltd. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 1.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.0×.
- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.1×**. Enterprise value is 10.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.9%** (5-yr avg -0.2%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 15.9%**. Kosmos Energy Ltd. keeps 15.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 11.8%**. 11.8% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: -54.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -132.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -11.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -11.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -23.0%** (3-yr -16.9%/yr, 5-yr 9.9%/yr). Revenue fell 23.0% over the last year, against 9.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -467.5%**. Earnings per share fell 467.5%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 5.78**. Debt is 5.78 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.4×**. It would take 6.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 0.9×**. Operating profit covers interest only 0.9×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.75** (quick 0.45). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.38**. A Z-score of 0.38 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 2/9**. 2 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Kosmos Energy Ltd. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 52.6%** (YTD 198.5%, 3-mo -6.8%). The shares are up 52.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -16.9%** (227.0% above the low). Trading 17% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 52**. An RSI of 52 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -1.22** (volatility 98%). Beta of -1.22 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
