  • Marathon Petroleum Stock Climbs 60% in 2026 Amid Iran Conflict, Valuation Under Scrutiny
    May 19, 2026, 1:14 PM EDT. Marathon Petroleum (MPC) shares surged nearly 60% in 2026, boosted by a Q1 earnings beat with adjusted EPS of $1.65 versus estimates of $0.75. The spike follows the Iran conflict's disruption of oil supply routes, notably the Strait of Hormuz, which tightened refining margins to $17.74 per barrel from $13.38 a year earlier. CEO Maryann Mannen highlighted MPC's US-Canada crude sourcing insulation from Middle East supply shocks, underpinning strong margins. Despite robust earnings and a $2.8 billion EBITDA leap, analysts hold a mixed view with a consensus target of $259, close to the current $260 stock price, suggesting limited upside potential. The market awaits clarity on margin sustainability beyond wartime gains and MPLX's 12.5% distribution growth forecast.
