Kolibri Global Energy Inc (NASDAQ:KGEI) is a North American energy company focused on oil and gas exploration and production, primarily operating the Caney Shale oil wells in the Tishomingo field, Oklahoma.

The main reason for the stock’s notable run-up in 2025 has been the company’s ambitious operational and financial guidance for the year. In January, Kolibri projected average production growth of 38-40% to 4,500-5,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with revenue expected to reach $75-89 million, up 32-44% from 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to rise by 35-48% to $58-71 million. It was driven by an aggressive drilling program, including nine new wells and expanded lateral drilling.

The company’s strategy to test new acreage in the Caney Formation, in partnership with a large integrated oil company, has also excited investors due to the potential for unlocking additional reserves at lower costs.

The consensus price target of $11 implies 59% upside.

KGEI stock is up 29.89% year-to-date.
