What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($111.64). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (31/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $55.23 – $212.52 · fair‑value band $87.60 – $111.64 · the $202.94 price screens above the $89.45 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Diamondback Energy Inc (FANG) currently trades at $202.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $89.45, implying the stock looks roughly 126.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $278.88 per share, and 11 of the 26 models we run sit above the $202.94 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $66.15, and 15 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Diamondback Energy Inc generated revenue of $14.5B at a net margin of 2.0%. Revenue grew 4.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.5%. Net debt stands at $14.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $87.60 (bear case) to $111.64 (bull case); at $202.94, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 5% below its 52-week high and 55% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −31% fair-value upside, at −56%, FANG screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
