The most recent item we track (Zacks Investment Research, 4 Nov 2026): "Buy 5 Low-Beta High-Yielding Stocks Amid Recent Wall Street Volatility". Zacks Investment Research highlights VNOM alongside COP, TTE, SU and EC as a low-beta, high-yield energy stock, citing improving earnings estimates, growth prospects and dividends.
Viper Energy, Inc. is an energy company focused on owning, acquiring, and managing mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties across North America. Its asset base is concentrated in the Permian Basin, an important oil- and gas-producing region, and includes subsurface real property interests that entitle the company to a share of production or related proceeds from development activities. Rather than operating a conventional exploration and production business, Viper Energy, Inc. primarily provides resource ownership through interests connected to producing and prospective wells, while third-party operators conduct drilling and field operations. This structure gives the company exposure to multiple properties, formations, and operators within a major hydrocarbon basin. Based in Midland, Texas, and operating as a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Viper Energy, Inc. plays a specialized role in the energy market by connecting mineral-rights ownership with the production of crude oil, natural gas, and associated hydrocarbons.
