Diamondback Energy's stock price has been influenced by several factors over the past six months. The stock price declined by 10.20% from January 6, 2025, to January 2, 2026, and underperformed the US Oil and Gas industry and the broader US market over the past year. However, FANG stock soared 11.8% over the three months leading up to December 5, 2025, outperforming the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE). Key events include the Q3 2025 earnings report, which showed better-than-expected financials but a stock price decline due to lower oil and gas prices.

The completion of the $26 billion merger with Endeavor Energy Resources nearly doubled Diamondback's size and added approximately 470,000 net acres. An antitrust lawsuit was filed in January 2024, accusing Diamondback and other oil and gas producers of an illegal price-fixing scheme.
