<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Sitio Royalties Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STR#NYSE">STR</a>) shares are trading higher by more than 12.2% on Tuesday after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions">inked a $4.1 billion deal</a> with Viper Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNOM#NASDAQ">VNOM</a>).
The all-equity transaction includes Sitio&#8217;s net debt of about $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2025.
As per the terms, Sitio stockholders will receive 0.4855 shares of Class A common shares in a new holding company (Pro forma Viper) for each share of Sitio Class A common stock.
Similarly, for each unit of Sitio&#8217;s operating subsidiary, holders will receive 0.4855 units of Viper&#8217;s operating subsidiary, Viper Energy Partners LLC, implying a value of $19.41 per share for each Sitio stockholder, based on Viper&#8217;s closing stock price on June 2.
Viper is a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>).
The boards of both companies unanimously approved the transaction, and Diamondback, as Viper&#8217;s majority stockholder, has provided its approval via written consent.
The transaction is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Upon the transaction&#8217;s completion, Diamondback is projected to hold about 41% of Pro forma Viper&#8217;s outstanding common stock.
Pro forma Viper: The new holding company is expected to hold roughly 85,700 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin (about 43% operated by Diamondback) and own an average 1.8% Net Royalty Interest (NRI) across approximately 33,300 gross producing horizontal wells (or ~608 net wells).
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Pro forma is expected to witness an average production of 64 – 68 thousand barrels of oil per day (mbo/d), or 122 – 130 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe/d).
The company expects 2026 average production to rise by a mid-single-digit percentage from these levels. Synergies from the deal are expected to exceed $50 million annually.
Viper dividend Boost: Along with the deal, Viper&#8217;s board approved a 10% increase to its base dividend to $1.32 per share annually (or 33 cents per share quarterly).
Viper CEO Kaes Van&#8217;t Hof says the transaction &#8220;positions&#8221; Viper to compete for capital with mid- and large-cap E&amp;Ps.
As of March 31, Viper had a cash balance of $560 million and a total <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45206131/viper-energy-inc-a-subsidiary-of-diamondback-energy-inc-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-and-o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">long-term debt of $830 million</a>.
Price Action: STR shares are up 8.37% at $18.77 premarket at the last check Tuesday.

Viper Energy Grabs Sitio Royalties In $4.1 Billion Deal, Boosts Dividend 10%

Dividends

Viper Energy Announces 10% Dividend Increase To $1.32 Per Share ($0.33 Quarterly) After Strategic Expansion With Sitio Royalties

"The combination of Viper and Sitio signifies an important moment for mineral and royalty interests," stated Kaes Van't Hof, Chief Executive Officer of Viper. "This combination creates a leader in size, scale, float, liquidity and access to investment grade capital in the highly fragmented minerals industry. Pro forma Viper is now clearly a must-own public mineral and royalty company in North America, with attractive size and scale in the Permian Basin. This transaction positions Viper to compete for capital with mid and large cap North American E&amp;Ps; except with higher margins, minimal operating costs, and the lowest dividend breakeven in the space."
