Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 25 valuation models · updated today
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $135.80 to $133.18 (−1.9%) since Jul 13, 2026. Share price +17.5% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 63% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($209.24). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($74.68 to $209.24). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (61/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) currently trades at $356.37, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $133.18, implying the stock looks roughly 62.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Marathon Petroleum Corporation generated revenue of $136B at a net margin of 3.4%. Revenue grew 8.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 27.5%. Net debt stands at $30.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $74.68 (bear case) to $209.24 (bull case); at $356.37, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 130% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -56% fair-value upside, at -63%, MPC screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 25 models by family
