AleAnna Inc (NASDAQ:ANNA) is a natural gas resource company focused on delivering conventional and renewable natural gas supplies in Italy and Europe.

The most important catalyst for the stock’s surge in 2025 was the commencement of gas production at the Longanesi field on March 13, 2025, after the company secured all regulatory approvals. This milestone, combined with a multi-year gas sales agreement with Shell Energy Europe, provided AleAnna with a significant new revenue stream.

Natural gas prices in Europe have more than doubled over the past year, further boosting the company’s potential cash flows and attracting investor attention. AleAnna also completed three strategic acquisitions of renewable natural gas plant projects in Italy in 2024, which generated $1.4 million in electricity production revenue and expanded its renewable portfolio.

ANNA stock is up 61.36% year-to-date.
