Diamondback Energy Inc (NASDAQ:FANG) shares climbed nearly 3% on Tuesday. Here’s a look at what’s going on.
What To Know: Diamondback Energy shares traded higher Tuesday as energy stocks jumped amid rising Middle East tensions. Iran launched an attack on Israel following the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Iran reportedly fired between 100 and 200 missiles towards Israel on Tuesday.
Diamondback Energy may have also gotten a lift after Wells Fargo analyst Roger Read maintained an Overweight rating on the stock Tuesday morning. Read lowered Wells Fargo’s price target from $230 to $219, but the price objective remains well above current levels.
The Wells Fargo update came on the heels of two similar moves from analysts on Monday. Evercore ISI Group maintained an Outperform rating and lowered its price target to $209, and Truist Securities maintained a Buy rating and lowered its price target to $220.
