U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes both logging their biggest daily declines in more than three weeks.
A look under the surface, however, showed that more speculative parts of the market, including crypto, were hit particularly hard by selling pressures.
The S&P 500 fell 80.42 points, or 1.2%, closing at 6,771.55.
The Nasdaq Composite ended 2% lower, shedding 486.09 points at 23,348.64.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 251.44 points lower, or 0.5%, at 47,085.24.
Bitcoin was down about 5.6%, after briefly dipping below the $100,000 mark earlier in the day.
It was the biggest daily percentage drop for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq since Oct. 10, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Viper Energy has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its non-Permian Basin assets for $670 million to an affiliate of GRP Energy Capital and Warwick Capital Partners.
The divestiture is expected to close during the first quarter with an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025. The full-year average daily production from the assets is between 9,000 boe/d and 10,000 boe/d, the company said in a third-quarter performance news release on Nov. 3.
Viper, a subsidiary of the dominant Permian pureplay Diamondback Energy, will continue to allocate most of its available cash available for distribution via its base-plus-variable dividend. But share buybacks will also be part of the firm’s shareholder return calculus, said Van’t Hof, “given the current market dislocation.”
During the third quarter, Viper’s growth strategy was bolstered by its closing of the $4.1 billion acquisition of Sitio Royalties. The pro forma production guidance implies an increase in oil close to 20% per share compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
