Falcon Oil And Gas Share Price Is Up 120% in a Year — Here’s What’s Driving the Surge

A certain kind of stock appeals to a certain type of investor, one who is at ease with a share price sitting close to its lowest point for months or even years while the underlying asset performs its slow geological work far from any headlines. For the majority of its time on the market, Falcon Oil and Gas has been that type of stock. Then, at some point in the latter part of 2025, something changed. By the turn of the year, the share price on the Toronto Venture Exchange had risen back above forty cents after hitting its lowest point in May 2025 at CAD $0.095, or less than ten cents.

The OTC-traded FOLGF shares saw a 120% year-over-year return, while the TSX Composite saw a respectable 41.92% return during the same time frame. That kind of performance calls for an explanation from a company that operates a gas asset in Australia’s Northern Territory, employs four people, and has its headquarters in Ireland.

The Beetaloo Sub-basin and a deal with Tamboran Resources, which transformed a long-delayed geological promise into something with a near-term commercial timeline, provide a brief explanation. Falcon has a 98.1% stake in Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited, which owns land in the Beetaloo, a sedimentary basin in the Northern Territory that geologists have long described as potentially significant despite the lack of production results to match their enthusiasm.

For the majority of this decade, the Beetaloo story has been a test of patience, serving as a reminder that in junior oil and gas, the difference between an estimate of resources and actual cash flow can easily swallow years and investor capital. The speed of activity and the legitimacy of a partner prepared to invest actual funds in the thesis were what shifted in late 2025.

Falcon declared on September 30, 2025, that Tamboran Resources had reached an agreement to purchase the Australian subsidiary, resulting in what the companies described as a Beetaloo Basin business spanning approximately 2.9 million acres. In March 2026, the deal was approved by shareholders. The “Stellar IP20 flow test result” in the Beetaloo, which was reported by GlobeNewswire on April 2, 2026, was the announcement that likely matters most to anyone monitoring the share price in real time. It demonstrated strong performance that the company obviously deemed significant enough to be highlighted in the headline. The market concurred. The news caused the London-listed FOG.L shares, which had been trading in the mid-teens in pence terms, to rise. Additionally, the announcement gained more credibility than a single data point alone because of the larger context of a year of improving flow test results throughout the Beetaloo.

There are noteworthy dynamics unique to the London listing. FOG.L is not a small company by AIM standards, with about 1.11 billion shares in issue and a market capitalization that fluctuates between approximately £176 million and £194 million depending on the day.

However, the notice filed in February 2026, canceling the company’s admission to trading on AIM, raises concerns about what the listing structure will look like once the Tamboran transaction is completed. A simplification of the capital structure consistent with a company nearing a transition point is suggested by the AIM delisting, ongoing trading on the TSX Venture Exchange, and the OTC markets. It is still unclear whether and how that shift will benefit the remaining shareholders.

The figures have been interesting but erratic for individual investors tracking the share price on sites like Hargreaves Lansdown, eToro, or through the daily trading data on London South East. The London-listed shares’ fifty-two-week range, which spans from a low of GBp 5.30 to a high of GBp 20.80 (reached as recently as April 7, 2026), represents an exceptional spread for a single twelve-month period.

The London shares’ current bid-ask spread, which is typically GBp 16.00 bid and GBp 17.50 ask, illustrates the limited market liquidity associated with a stock that sees few trades on most days. The modest volume of 30,554 shares on April 16, 2026, for a company with over a billion shares in circulation, suggests that the majority of the stock is not actively traded but rather is in relatively stable hands awaiting the completion of the Tamboran deal.

It’s difficult to ignore the fact that the Falcon Oil and Gas story is ultimately about timing—about what it means to hold a resource asset through years of slow progress and then discover, almost abruptly, that the conditions for realizing value have arrived simultaneously: a reliable acquirer, better well results, regulatory approvals from the Northern Territory government, and a gas market that has changed its relationship with Australian LNG resources from when Falcon first staked its position in the Beetaloo.

As would be expected for a business at this stage of development, the PE ratio is currently negative. In actuality, the EPS is zero. Neither dividends nor short-term guidance are available for modeling. When investors purchase FOG, they are purchasing a thesis about the future of the Beetaloo, and the flow test data is making it more difficult to reject this thesis.
