Diamondback Energy: Strategic Divestitures and Attractive Valuation Drive Buy Rating with 43% Upside PotentialWe do not anticipate any major changes to FCF as a result of the transactions Updating Estimates. While we do not expect much of an impact to our FCF estimate, we model marginally lower future midstream capital outlays and interest expense, and marginally increased LOE expense. Valuation. FANG shares trade at a 5.1x EV/EBITDAX multiple and an 11% FCF Yield (percentage of EV) using our 2026 estimates of $10.3 billion in EBITDAX and $6.0 billion in FCF, compared to the group average of 3.6x and 10%. In our view, Diamondback deserves a premium E&P multiple and yield in line with the majors given the company's industry-low costs along with industry-leading margins and operational efficiencies. We believe it could trade as high as 6.5x and 8%; applying a 6.5x multiple and 8% yield suggests an equally weighted fair value of $212 per share, or 43% upside.
