And among these is oil-and-gas name <strong>Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, like all Pro Picks, this week\u2019s selections have all been stamped with an InvestingPro financial health score of 2.75 or more out of 5, which for the last 7 years has indicated outperformance vs. the . That score indicates firm financials: top-notch earnings, cash flow, and growth vs. peers.<\/p>\n<p>With an impressive overall health score of 3.08, Diamondback Energy outperforms the vast majority of peers on profit margins and its two- and five-year return on invested capital, as InvestingPro screeners reveal. And Diamondback vastly outstrips just about every other company in the sector when it comes to its revenue trend score &#8211; as well as its mighty cumulative earnings growth per share over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>You also get robust cash flow metrics with this company &#8211; a sky-high ratio of cash flow to current liabilities, and cash flow that comes in comfortably over its total debt. All that helps fund its dividend, which yields at an incredible 7.4%. Crucially, Diamondback\u2019s forward price-to-earnings ratio is at a bargain basement 7.4x, and analysts consider it undervalued: Wall Street targets put upside at over 25% above the current stock price.<\/p>\n<p>Put it all together, and Diamondback Energy looks particularly well positioned to run.<\/p>\n<p>Want to see the full list of this month&#8217;s Pro Picks poised to beat the market?<strong> Start a 7-day free trial to unlock must-have insights and data.<\/strong> And while you\u2019re here, dig into InvestingPro\u2019s wealth of tools and screeners to begin building a lucrative portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re already an InvestingPro subscriber, this week&#8217;s full Pro Picks list is available here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Data as of June 8, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"InvestingPro | Unlock the Market's Hidden Gems\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/picd1fb7f0bb9fe0172dd152150ce6c2d41.jpg\" alt=\"InvestingPro | Unlock the Market's Hidden Gems\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/news\/stock-market-news\/pro-picks-4-crackling-energy-plays-led-by-diamondback-3101333\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9 Reuters.
