Valuing Marathon Oil Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Marathon Oil Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Marathon Oil Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Marathon Oil Corporation shares trade at around 5x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Marathon Oil Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.3995. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Marathon Oil Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Marathon Oil Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5.4 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Marathon Oil Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 7.36% of net profits
Recently Marathon Oil Corporation has paid out, on average, around 7.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.29% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Marathon Oil Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.29% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Marathon Oil Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.
While Marathon Oil Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Marathon Oil Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Marathon Oil Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 11 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Marathon Oil Corporation's shares were split on a 10000:5965 basis on 30 June 2011. So if you had owned 5965 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Marathon Oil Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 40.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Marathon Oil Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Marathon Oil Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Marathon Oil Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.8751 up to $33.3274. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Marathon Oil Corporation's is 2.4566. This would suggest that Marathon Oil Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
