Recent oil highs and upbeat commentary from BP plc BP are bullish indicators for Kosmos Energy Ltd KOS, which has 25-percent upside potential, according to RBC Capital Markets.
- Massive Demand & Disruptive Potential – Boxabl has received interest for over 190,000 homes, positioning itself as a major disruptor in the housing market.
- Revolutionary Manufacturing Approach – Inspired by Henry Ford’s assembly line, Boxabl’s foldable tiny homes are designed for high-efficiency production, making homeownership more accessible.
- Affordable Investment Opportunity – With homes priced at $60,000, Boxabl is raising $1 billion to scale production, offering investors a chance to own a stake in its growth.
The Analyst
Analyst Al Stanton upgraded Kosmos Energy from Sector Perform to Outperform and raised the price target from $7 to $10.
The Thesis
Stanton expects the company’s balance sheet to benefit in the coming months from a number of factors including higher oil prices, the resolution of issues at the Jubilee field and a full year’s contribution from the Ceiba and Okume fields. (See the analyst's track record here.)
Kosmos’ oil production for fiscal 2018 is projected to rise to approximately 49,000 barrels per day, a 50-percent year-over-year increase.
BP, Kosmos’ partner and operator in the 15Tcf Tortue gas development, recently made positive comments on the operation that Stanton said led him to bring his projections more in line with the companies’ guidance. Investors should watch BP’s second-quarter earnings report on July 31 for more detail, the analyst said.
Investors could see some “overdue” upside from exploration drilling over the next year, Stanton said.
Price Action
Kosmos shares were trading up 4.36 percent at $8.38 at the time of publication Thursday.
