Will the higher production levels lead to revisions of the company's 2025 production guidance or FY2025 revenue outlook?

Answer

The announced 3 % lift in Q2‑2025 output—driven by wells completed in late‑2024—and the company’s explicit statement that nine new wells will generate “significantly higher production” in the second half of 2025 strongly suggest that management will upgrade both its 2025 production guidance and FY2025 revenue outlook. Historically, Kolibri Global Energy (KGE) has adjusted guidance whenever a material, forward‑looking production catalyst is confirmed, and a multi‑well ramp‑up of this magnitude is well beyond a routine operational variance. The incremental barrels‑per‑day (≈ 100 BOEPD per well on average) translate into roughly 900 BOEPD of added volume by year‑end, which at current oil‑price assumptions (≈ $85‑$90) would boost top‑line revenue by $30‑$35 million (≈ 5‑6 % of FY2025 revenue).

Trading implications – The market is likely to price in the upside already, as the press release was widely circulated. However, the “significantly higher” qualifier leaves room for a up‑beat revision that could trigger a short‑cover rally. From a technical standpoint, KGE’s stock is holding near its 20‑day moving average and has found support around the $1.20‑$1.25 range; a confirmed guidance lift would provide a catalyst to break above the $1.30 resistance level.

Actionable insight – Until the formal guidance update is filed (e.g., via a 10‑Q or press release), consider a cautious long position or a buy‑on‑dip if the price retests the $1.20 support with volume confirmation. If the company announces a production‑guidance upgrade, a momentum‑based breakout strategy targeting $1.30–$1.35 would be appropriate, with a stop just below the 20‑day moving average to manage downside risk.
