Kosmos Energy is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. operates as a deepwater independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused along the Atlantic Margins. Co.'s main assets include production offshore Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as gas development offshore Mauritania and Senegal. Co. also maintains a proven basin exploration program in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We show 51 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our KOS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute KOS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing KOS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing KOS's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of KOS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
KOS market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like KOS can fluctuate over the course of history.
