Is Diamondback Energy stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Diamondback Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Diamondback Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Diamondback Energy's P/E ratio

Diamondback Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Diamondback Energy shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Diamondback Energy's PEG ratio

Diamondback Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.201. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Diamondback Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Diamondback Energy's EBITDA

Diamondback Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $6.7 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Diamondback Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Diamondback Energy share dividends

56%

Dividend payout ratio: 55.9% of net profits

Recently Diamondback Energy has paid out, on average, around 55.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.31% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Diamondback Energy shareholders could enjoy a 6.31% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Diamondback Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $10.76 per share.

Diamondback Energy's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Diamondback Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 21 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Diamondback Energy share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Diamondback Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $134.7452 up to $211.945. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

FANG.US volatility(beta: 1.88)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Diamondback Energy's is 1.883. This would suggest that Diamondback Energy's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
