Largest Shareholder Sells $1.9B Stake, Diamondback Tumbles 8%
FANG sits 44% above its 52-week low of $135.59 on elevated volume (6.8× avg).
Summary
SGF FANG Holdings, the entity controlled by Lyndal Stephens Greth, sold 9.1 million Diamondback shares for about $1.9 billion, cutting its stake to roughly 23%. The sale, disclosed after Tuesday's close, contributed to an 8% drop in the stock on Wednesday, its worst day since April 2025. This follows a similar $1.9 billion sale by the same holder in March, indicating continued monetization of the Endeavor merger stake. The large block sale adds supply overhang and signals reduced conviction from the company's largest shareholder, though the stake remains substantial.
