51
out of 100
Marathon Petroleum Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 51 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 3.4%). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +13.5%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Marathon Petroleum is the largest U.S. refiner: it buys crude, turns it into gasoline and diesel, and sells it. It doesn't live off the oil price but off the 'crack spread': the gap between crude in and fuels out.
