Diamondback Energy: U.S. Oil Export Power Shines As Strait Of Hormuz Concerns Rise
Diamondback Energy, Inc. offers a unique hedge against Middle East geopolitical risks, with North American producers poised to benefit from potential supply disruptions. The recent Endeavor Energy merger increases FANG's debt, enhances its upside potential with higher oil prices, and strengthens its dominance among North American E&Ps. Low drilling activity, combined with a depleted US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, heightens the potential for a supply shock and significant oil price spike.

Diamondback Energy is a top-tier, low-cost Permian Basin operator with strong reserves, disciplined capital allocation, and impressive acquisition-driven growth. Recent acquisitions, including Double Eagle, have expanded drilling locations and are expected to be immediately accretive to free cash flow. The valuation is attractive with a low P/E, strong margins, and robust growth metrics, despite share dilution and rising debt offset by healthy financial ratios.

Eyeing Diamondback Energy's Massive Low-Cost Permian Basin Inventory
Diamondback Energy, a cost-efficient Permian Basin pure-play, has a deep inventory of ~8,400 drilling locations, economic at $50/bbl WTI, and a base dividend breakeven price of $37/bbl WTI. Despite a 34% stock decline, Diamondback reported strong Q1 earnings with record production, $1.5 billion in free cash flow, and significant share repurchases. Risks include potential further WTI price drops due to Trump's tariffs and OPEC+ actions, and limited exit capacity for Permian gas production, though new pipelines are in development.
