Neal Dingmann has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Diamondback’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company exceeded third-quarter 2025 expectations, driven by increased production and reduced operating costs, which resulted in a significant rise in free cash flow despite lower oil prices. This demonstrates Diamondback’s operational efficiency and cost management, positioning it as a leader in the industry.
Additionally, Diamondback’s strategy of engaging in smaller strategic acquisitions and executing substantial stock buybacks further supports its robust market position. The company’s low breakeven points and increasing free cash flow per barrel of oil equivalent per day underscore its financial strength. Given these factors, along with the positive production and capital expenditure guidance for the fourth quarter, Dingmann anticipates that Diamondback will continue to outperform its peers.
In another report released yesterday, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $175.00 price target.
