MIDLAND, Texas, Jan. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback”), today announced that it plans to release fourth quarter 2025 financial results on February 23, 2026 after the market closes.

Diamondback Energy (FANG) closed at $146.99 in the latest trading session, marking a -3.51% move from the prior day.

The U.S. government is increasingly funding deficits with short-term debt, making interest expenses highly sensitive to Fed policy. A declining average maturity in the sovereign bond index tightens the link between fiscal and monetary policy, amplifying market complexity. Artificially subdued long-term bond supply likely keeps long-term yields lower than they would be with more balanced issuance.

Diamondback Energy (FANG) concluded the recent trading session at $151.25, signifying a +1.8% move from its prior day's close.

Energy badly lagged this year, and I underestimated how severe the supply glut would be. I was early - but the long-term thesis remains firmly intact. Today's oil prices aren't sustainable. Low prices are forcing discipline, squeezing supply, and creating a rare setup where sentiment and fundamentals are deeply misaligned. With positioning extremely bearish and costs rising, I see energy setting up for a powerful reversal - offering both income and upside for patient investors.

Diamondback Energy, Exxon Mobil and Chevron leverage low-cost Permian operations, helping them stay resilient even as oil prices soften heading into 2026.
