Bank of America analysts have downwardly revised their expectations for oil and gas companies' upcoming second quarter earnings reports. The analysts wrote in a note to clients that they cut their estimates by 6% to within sight of the consensus due to weak natural gas prices in the Permian basin in the US, as indicated by Diamondback Energy Inc (NASDAQ:FANG, ETR:7DB) reporting low realized natural gas prices.
Goldman Sachs expects peak oil demand to be another decade away. Diamondback Energy's strategic growth in the Permian Basin positions it as a top producer with significant growth opportunities. FANG's efficient operations, cost-saving measures, and attractive cash return strategy make it a compelling investment in the current oil price environment.
A relatively high price of oil is helping exploration and production companies generate plenty of cash. Many oil companies, Diamondback Energy included, have taken advantage of attractive valuations to buy assets.
Everyone's definition of cash-cow stocks is different. I consider cash-cow stocks to be companies whose free cash flow (FCF) is considerably higher than the capital expenditures required to keep the business running efficiently.
