Stock Track | Marathon Petroleum Soars 5.04% on Analyst Upgrades and Geopolitical Tensions Boosting Energy Sector

Stock Track04:52

Marathon Petroleum's stock surged 5.04% intraday on Wednesday, reflecting a significant upward movement for the energy company.

The rally was fueled by multiple analyst upgrades, including Goldman Sachs raising its price target to $211 from $204 while maintaining a Buy rating, and Wells Fargo increasing its target to $217 from $213 with an Overweight rating. Additional positive analyst actions from TD Cowen and JPMorgan further contributed to the bullish sentiment.

Broader energy sector strength also played a role, with geopolitical tensions after the U.S. rejected Iran's request to change the location for talks reportedly boosting oil prices and energy stocks. The positive momentum was supported by strong refining sector performance, as highlighted by peer Phillips 66's earnings beat driven by robust refining margins, with Marathon Petroleum also noted for benefiting from similar margin improvements.
