Diamondback Energy Stock Forum

Insider's recent share sale, despite lower price, raises questions about stock's valuation. Lack of insider buying and recent sale doesn't inspire confidence. However, significant insider ownership aligns management with shareholders.

Diamondback Energy's low P/E ratio is due to its projected growth being less than the broader market. Investors feel the potential for earnings improvement doesn't warrant a higher P/E ratio, possibly impeding a significant share price increase soon.

Verde CEO Ernie Miller sees the partnership with Diamondback as a case study due to limited options for the natural gas glut. He suggests converting natural gas into gasoline as a promising monetization strategy, even if prices rise to $3. Diamondback's president, Kaes Van't Hof, is excited about the project's scalability.

Endeavor Energy Resources' debt ratings are under review for an upgrade by Moody's Investors Service following a deal announcement. Diamondback Energy's CEO, Travis Stice, believes the deal will create a 'must-own' North American independent oil company with 'industry-leading depth and quality'.

Analysts predict Diamondback's acquisition of Endeavor will enhance its inventory life and overall improvement. The merged entity is anticipated to outperform its closest competitor by approximately 10% in oil and gas production per dollar spent.
