Market Focus10-13 23:27

On October 13, Marathon Petroleum rose 3.03% in Regular Trading, trading at $472.38/share, with turnover of $205 million.

The move was supported by a clear event catalyst: Citi raised its price target on Marathon Petroleum to $518 from $318 while maintaining a neutral rating, implying further upside versus the current share price.

Additional support came from a broader wave of analyst target increases and improving industry fundamentals. UBS recently lifted its target to $510, BMO Capital to $455, Morgan Stanley to $453, Piper Sandler to $462, and Jefferies to $433 from $413. At the industry level, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe have tightened global fuel supply and widened crack spreads, strengthening expectations that major US refiners could report sharply stronger third-quarter earnings. Marathon Petroleum is scheduled to report next on November 3, with consensus EPS at $23.71.
