Evercore analyst Stephen Richardson maintains $Diamondback Energy (FANG.US)$ with a buy rating, and adjusts the target price from $235 to $209.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 56.5% and a total average return of 7.9% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Diamondback Energy (FANG.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Estimates for the exploration and production sector have been adjusted to reflect updated commodity price projections and investment perspectives. While maintaining long-term oil and gas price expectations at $80 for Brent and $3.50 for Henry Hub, it's suggested that if operational efficiency improvements continue and service costs decrease further, the exploration and production companies might uphold enhanced capital efficiency into 2025. This could potentially counterbalance the effects of resource maturity.
The outlook for Diamondback Energy has been adjusted in light of the potential that energy commodities and equities may not participate in the globally coordinated easing cycle, owing to tough fundamentals and a predicted imbalance approaching in 2025. Nonetheless, it's suggested that opposing the trend set by major economic forces might not be prudent, with expectations that the risks within the crude oil market lean towards positive potential. As the quarter concludes, anticipation grows for updates that could reveal a decrease in the near-term projections.
