Is Marathon Oil Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
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 P/E ratio
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 12x. In other words, Marathon Oil Corporation shares trade at around 12x 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 PEG ratio
Marathon Oil Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 26.4455. 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
Marathon Oil Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.2 billion.

Marathon Oil Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 17.53% of net profits
Recently Marathon Oil Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Marathon Oil Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.44 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 9 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Marathon Oil Corporation's shares ever split?
Marathon Oil Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 June 2007 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Marathon Oil Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% 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.
Marathon Oil Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Marathon Oil Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $21.4498 up to $29.7033. 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 2.161. This would suggest that Marathon Oil Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
