Barclays Maintains Overweight on Marathon Petroleum, Lowers Price Target to $159

Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday. Scotiabank analyst Paul. Y. Cheng, with a Sector Outperform rating and a $170 price target, shared views on third-quarter<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results reported yesterday</a>.
On Tuesday, Marathon Petroleum reported revenue of $35.4 billion, topping estimates. Adjusted EPS<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41744366/marathon-petroleum-q3-earnings-outpaces-expectations-powers-up-shareholder-rewards-more" rel="noreferrer noopener"> was $1.87 vs. $0.98 expected</a>.
Marathon Petroleum expects&nbsp;fourth-quarter Refining operating costs per barrel of&nbsp;$5.50 and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">Refinery throughputs of 2,880 mbpd</a>.&nbsp;
The analyst expects results to positively impact near-term share price performance, with refining operations performing strongly. Throughput, unit cost, margin capture, and turnaround expenses all exceeded expectations.
Cheng notes robust commercial operations and efficient turnaround execution were key contributors to the beat.
This marks the second consecutive quarter of better-than-expected margin capture, which could renew the shares&#8217; momentum, adds the analyst.
However, Cheng says that the fourth-quarter outlook is weaker than anticipated, with throughput outlook below their previous estimate of 2,970 mbbl/d.
The Mid-Con region is expected to underperform relative to their expectations, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>) and&nbsp;VanEck Oil Refiners ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRAK#NYSE">CRAK</a>).
Price Action: MPC shares are up 3.49% at $154.78 at the last check Wednesday.

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher After Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.

This year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/05/39012013/noaa-meteorologists-predict-aggressive-hurricane-season-what-it-means-for-home-depot-generac-other-s">hurricane season </a>is a deadly one for the eastern and Gulf Coast of the U.S. Several companies and ETFs could be affected by another tropical storm nearing the Gulf Coast.
The Storm: Tropical Storm Rafael, the 17th named storm of the 2024 season, formed in the Caribbean, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/hurricanes/tropical-storm-rafael-forms-expected-hurricane-rcna178632">according</a> to NBC.
The storm passed by Jamaica on Tuesday. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Tuesday near the Cayman Islands and pass over Western Cuba. From there, it will likely weaken into a tropical storm before making landfall near New Orleans. The path may change drastically before impacting the U.S.
The heaviest rain of up to 10 inches is expected in Jamaica.
Market Impacts: With a projected path in the Gulf of Mexico, Rafael could disrupt offshore oil and gas production, which could impact companies operating there.
Potentially affected stocks include major energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and ETFs like SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).
Storms in the Gulf of Mexico can also disrupt refining operations, which could impact refiners such as Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).
Construction companies like Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Martin Marietta Materials Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLM#NYSE">MLM</a>) might benefit from increased demand for repairs and rebuilding.
Recent extreme weather activity is linked to climate change. Hurricanes, which will become even more frequent over time, may encourage homeowners to purchase home generators. Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is the largest producer of home generators in the U.S.

Earnings Beats

Marathon Petroleum Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $1.87 Beats $0.98 Estimate, Sales $35.373B Beat $32.835B Estimate

As Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) prepares to release its third-quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings, investors are focused on the company&#8217;s performance indicators and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPC/earnings">market outlook</a>. 
Following a robust second quarter, where total revenues <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40188607/marathon-petroleums-profitability-resurgent-blows-past-q2-revenue-and-eps-estimates">reached $38.362 billion</a>—significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $35.083 billion—Marathon&#8217;s trajectory appears promising, although challenges remain on the horizon.
What To Know: In the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA was reported at $3.39 billion, a notable decline from the $4.53 billion achieved in the same period last year. This decrease was attributed to lower market crack spreads impacting the refining and marketing segment, which saw its adjusted EBITDA fall to $1.972 billion from $3.163 billion a year earlier. 
Despite these pressures, the company demonstrated operational resilience, with refining operating costs per barrel improving slightly to $4.97 from $5.15 in the prior year.
Noteworthy was the increase in refined product sales volume, which surged to 3,742 thousand barrels per day (mbpd), up from 3,581 mbpd in the year-ago quarter. This increase was accompanied by a boost in crude oil capacity utilization, climbing to 97%, compared to 93% in the previous year.
Such operational efficiency signals a strong demand for refined products, which could bode well for third-quarter results.

Marathon Petroleum's ability to manage costs effectively has been highlighted by its cash position. As of June 30, the company reported $8.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, alongside $5 billion available through its revolving credit facility.
This liquidity position has allowed Marathon to return approximately $3.2 billion to shareholders in the second quarter, including $2.9 billion in share repurchases and $290 million in dividends. The company still has $5.8 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization, indicating its commitment to shareholder value.
What Else: Looking ahead to the third quarter, Marathon Petroleum anticipates an increase in refining operating costs per barrel, projecting $5.35, along with refinery throughputs of 2,845 mbpd. These expectations suggest a more cautious outlook in the context of rising operational costs, which could impact profitability.
Additionally, the performance of MPLX LP, the master limited partnership in which Marathon holds a majority interest, adds another layer of consideration. In its second-quarter report, MPLX exceeded earnings expectations with $1.15 per limited partner unit compared to the consensus estimate of 99 cents.
The partnership's sales of $3.05 billion also outperformed expectations, and it returned $949 million to unitholders, highlighting the ongoing strength and profitability of Marathon's integrated operations.
As the market anticipates the release of Marathon Petroleum&#8217;s third-quarter earnings, investors will be particularly interested in how the company navigates the challenges posed by fluctuating market conditions and operational costs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MPC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Marathon Petroleum&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MPC has a 52-week high of $221.11 and a 52-week low of $140.98.

<h3>A Look at Marathon Petroleum P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. 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. 
Marathon Petroleum has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 10.7 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock 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.
