Home Depot, Live Nation Entertainment, Diamondback Energy, And A Tech Giant Taking On Musk's Twitter: CNBC's 'Final Trades'

On CNBC’s "Halftime Report Final Trades," Josh Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management said Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. LYV, looks like it’s back on an uptrend.

Citigroup recently maintained Live Nation Entertainment with a Buy and raised the price target from $89 to $110.

Kevin Simpson named The Home Depot, Inc. HD as his final trade.

Home Depot will reportedly settle a long-running lawsuit for underpaying workers in California by paying $72.5 million. The settlement proposal was filed in a San Francisco federal court and will need to be approved by a judge, reported Reuters.

Analysts have a consensus Outperform rating on HD, according to Benzinga's analyst ratings data.

Bryn Talkington of Requisite Capital Management said it’s a good time to buy Diamondback Energy, Inc. FANG at current levels.

Shares of energy stocks traded higher on Friday as oil rebounded following Thursday weakness.
