Diamondback Energy, Inc.
Diamondback Energy, Inc. (ticker: FANG) is an independent oil and natural gas producer focused on exploration, development and production in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The company aims to improve well performance and lower unit costs through operational scale, horizontal drilling techniques and selective acquisitions. Earnings and free cash flow are closely linked to oil and gas prices, production volumes and operating efficiency. Diamondback has returned capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in favourable commodity environments, but its cash returns and capital spending can vary with market cycles. Key metrics for investors include production growth, realised prices, free cash flow and net debt. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations and regulatory developments are increasingly relevant.

Why It's Moving
FANG Powers Ahead on Strong Free Cash Flow and Oil Resilience Amid Low Prices
Diamondback Energy's shares traded steadily around $150 on January 1, up 1.8% and outpacing the S&P 500, fueled by robust operational performance despite oil hovering near $60/bbl. Investors are eyeing the stock's undervaluation and capital discipline as key strengths in a choppy energy market.
- Adjusted free cash flow surged 15% YTD even with 14% lower WTI prices, generating $1.8B in Q3 alone to highlight operational efficiency.
- Management slashed capex to $3.45–3.55B while boosting oil output guidance to ~498 MBO/d, prioritizing cash flow growth over expansion.
- Low oil prices expose FANG's intrinsic value near $278/share—nearly 2x current levels—bolstered by Fed rate cuts and geopolitical supply tensions.
