Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Diamondback Energy (FANG.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
In an oil macro environment that may remain challenged in the near term due to the pending return of OPEC+ barrels, Diamondback Energy is positioned as a relative outperformer. This is attributed to its advantageous placement at the low end of the cost curve in the Midland Basin, which enables dividend coverage below $45 per barrel.
Diamondback Energy is perceived to have one of the most promising sequences of positive events in the upcoming quarters with the complete integration of Endeavor. It is anticipated that the company will announce a 2025 program that will surpass initial capital efficiency estimates. The recent decrease in share price, partly due to liquidity events from Endeavor sellers, is seen as an opportune moment for investors to consider entering the market.
Adjustments in the exploration and production sector's estimates reflect revised commodity price assumptions and the investment landscape. The belief is that if operational efficiency improvements continue and service expenses decrease further, exploration and production companies could maintain enhanced capital efficiency through 2025, potentially counteracting the effects of resource maturity.
Amid a global trend of monetary easing, there's a possibility that energy commodities and related equities may not participate due to challenging fundamentals and a potential imbalance projected for 2025. Nevertheless, it's suggested not to go against the central banks' policies, indicating that there may be more positive than negative risks in the crude oil market. As the quarter concludes, it is anticipated that forthcoming updates may reveal lower than expected near-term estimates.
