Bryn Talkington Diamondback Energy FANG-Q BUY Feb 10, 2023

Has a 11% free cash flow yield. WTI is about to hit its 50-day moving average at $83. Sell the March $160 calls; 5 months out you get 5% income and 15% total return if it gets called away.

Shares jumped 9.38% on news that they will buy Endeavor for $26 billion. Other oil mergers didn't move the buying company's stock anything like this, so today's rally was a result of animal spirts gone wild in the market.

They just bought a $26 billion company taht strengthens their position in the Permian Basin. It's one of the strongest fundamental energy companies. Buy on pullback.

He's tired of waiting for energy (WTI) to break out of its range of $65-90, but maybe it finally will. 

Energy stocks continue to pay down debt alot and generate a lot of free cash flow. FANG is one of the best int his space. She expects 14% and 22% revenue and earnings growth. Is up over 20% this year.

Their deal with Endeavor will close in Q3 and be strong for FANG. Is a top energy name.

Bought more. Great management and M&A strategy, which will add to earnings regardless of the oil price. Likes their cost control and cash flow.
