Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Marathon Petroleum Corporation is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 18.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 5% yearly growth; analysts expect 21%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
