Shorting Diamondback Energy shares

There are currently 4.5 million Diamondback Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as Diamondback Energy's "short interest". This figure is 0.2% up from 4.5 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Diamondback Energy shares can be evaluated.

Diamondback Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Diamondback Energy's SIR currently stands at 1.68. In other words for every 100,000 Diamondback Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1680 shares are currently held short.

However Diamondback Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Diamondback Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable Diamondback Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Diamondback Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Diamondback Energy shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0263% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Diamondback Energy shares, roughly 26 shares are currently held short).

Diamondback Energy share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 41.44% of net profits

Recently Diamondback Energy has paid out, on average, around 41.44% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.04% of the current stock value.

In Diamondback Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $1.55 per share.

While Diamondback Energy's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Diamondback Energy may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Diamondback Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 19 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
