The 10 Wall Street analysts covering Diversified Energy Co. have a median 12-month price target of $19, with estimates ranging from $15 to $29. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.

What the data says: the median 12-month target from 10 analysts implies +42.5% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Diversified Energy Co. 5 out of 100 as at 4 Nov 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Diversified Energy Co. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for DEC are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business.
