Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Diamondback Energy stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Diamondback Energy, Inc. is an oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas. The Company's activities are primarily focused on the Clearfork, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Cline, Strawn and Atoka formations. Diamondback Energy, Inc. is headquartered in Midland, Texas. " (7/17/2017)
• 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "FANG's boost to guidance signals to us that some recent fears over service sector tightness, infrastructure or execution risk in the Delaware could be overdone. Given management's typically conservative stance towards guidance, we do not believe they would have raised expectations for production unless they believe those aforementioned risks are low. The activity ramp out in the Delaware (three rigs in 2017) should materialize as we have anticipated. With the type of production and debt-adjusted cash flow growth we expect from FANG, we maintain our bullish stance." (2/16/2017)
• 3. Mizuho analysts commented, "We believe FANG shares have room to slither higher, and reiterate our Buy rating and $124 PT. The inimitable low cost structure Diamondback has, due to its mineral rights ownership via Viper Energy Partners, continues to separate the company from its growth Permian peers. We increase our EBITDA estimates by 5% in '17/'18, reflecting more efficient growth than previously forecasted. The company's maturation to exploitation from acquisition appears imminent, following this month's closing of the Brigham Resources acquisition. Transition from acquisition to exploitation should appeal to investors. Management was as candid as they have ever been on the earnings call about not needing more inventory in the near-term future and pivoting toward "resource execution", versus "resource capture"."
