Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into MPC?
At today's price, Marathon Petroleum Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 4.8% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.83% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -0.4% a year, so the market is asking for 5.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis MPC looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Marathon Petroleum Corporation is currently running 50.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against MPC's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 92nd percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 31.1%.
MPC is trading -18.5% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -26.3%, and the deepest was -73.0% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits +35.1% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 94th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year MPC closed higher on 58% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.
On November specifically: over 13 years of records, MPC finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +2.1% and an average of +3.5%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +5.7% on average, its weakest December at -2.5%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: MPC has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 171 of 3,268 sessions (5.2% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.8% and -11.7%.
Across the last 4 dated reports on file, MPC moved an average of 5.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 4 times, with a median move of -4.2% and a largest of -8.1%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against MPC's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
