Patient Capital Opportunity Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Kosmos Energy Ltd. (NYSE:KOS) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Kosmos Energy Ltd. (NYSE:KOS) traded lower during the quarter, in line with broader energy price declines. The company is approaching a key inflection point, with production and free cash flow expected to increase meaningfully as its Tortue LNG project ramps to full capacity. While 2025 has been disappointing, marked by delays in production timelines and cost overruns, we’re now seeing positive momentum, with Tortue coming online and volumes steadily increasing. Kosmos remains focused on maximizing cash generation and deleveraging its balance sheet. At current commodity prices, the company is positioned to generate free cash flow equal to nearly 2x its market cap between 2025 and 2029. With gas-heavy reserves, a ramping cash flow profile, and a strategic asset base, we believe Kosmos is significantly undervalued—and could be a compelling acquisition target in a consolidating energy environment.”
