Read MoreHide Full Article
Diamondback Energy (FANG - Free Report) reported $3.71 billion in revenue for the quarter ended December 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of 66.6%. EPS of $3.64 for the same period compares to $4.74 a year ago.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +9.18% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.4 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $3.26, the EPS surprise was +11.66%.
