Diamondback Energy Inc. (US25278X1090) traded at $205.60 on August 25, 2026, with a $57.57 billion market value and a 52-week range of $134.30 to $216.90. The latest quarter delivered $6.48 in earnings per share on $5.56 billion in revenue, which was 51.2% above the same period a year earlier.
Analysts keep the upside case
MarketBeat's latest roundup shows a consensus Moderate Buy rating and a $222.21 average target, which sits 8.1% above the $205.60 share price. That gap is smaller than the 2026 run in the stock itself, but it still leaves room for further multiple support if oil stays firm.
The same update put Diamondback's net margin at 8.58% and return on equity at 10.10% for the recent quarter. It also flagged a quarterly dividend of $1.10, equal to a $4.40 annualized payout and a 2.1% yield.
What the latest quarter showed
Revenue of $5.56 billion topped the $4.89 billion expectation cited in the same update, while EPS of $6.48 beat the $6.08 estimate by $0.40. That combination helped the shares hold close to the top end of the 12-month range after the August 3 earnings release.
Institutional ownership remains heavy at 90.01%, and the latest filing snapshot highlighted a new 73,962-share purchase valued at $13 million. For investors, the key contrast is simple: the quarter produced hard cash flow optics, while the stock still trades below the $216.90 high.
Permian Basin scale
Diamondback remains a Permian Basin producer focused on crude oil and natural gas. MarketScreener's company profile lists 2025 upstream sales of $14.3 billion, with crude oil making up 87.7% of net sales and 181.5 million barrels produced that year.
Share price check
The stock opened at $205.60 on August 25, 2026, with a 50-day average of $192.10 and a 200-day average of $189.74. That keeps Diamondback above both trend lines and only a few dollars under its 52-week high of $216.90.
