Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Kosmos Energy Ltd. trades at USD2.15, which is 60% above the USD0.87 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 34 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
