Eagle and Beagle

Gulfport Energy, an Oklahoma City energy company, has issued some solid production reports in recent days. Meanwhile, the company has earned a couple of positive nods from analysts, each of whom put a target price on the stock a bit higher than its current price.

That helped push the price of GPOR shares up 13.3 percent last week. The stock gained $3.70 over the past five trading days to close Friday at $31.56. It closed the week especially strong, adding 6.5 percent on Friday.

In fact, GPOR has nearly doubled in price since dipping below $16 near the end of June, and trading volume has been robust.

Gulfport shares still have some room to run before hitting their 52-week high of $37.80 set back in February, but that's right about what those analysts are projecting.
