Price Target

Raymond James Maintains Strong Buy on Marathon Petroleum, Raises Price Target to $192

Traders adopted a cautious approach on Monday as they awaited two critical inflation reports due later this week, seeking clarity on Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42953940/tuesdays-producer-inflation-report-could-stoke-market-volatility-as-fed-path-remains-unclear">Reserve interest rate policy. </a>
Additionally, the kickoff of earnings season, led by major banks on Wednesday, added to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the market&#8217;s subdued tone.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 edged lower, continuing Friday&#8217;s downturn sparked by unexpectedly strong jobs data. The lack of &#8220;buy-the-dip&#8221; enthusiasm in the tech-heavy indices signaled lingering uncertainty among investors.
In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain, buoyed by a rally in energy stocks. Rising oil prices provided a key lift, as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil surged over 3% to approach $78 per barrel — a level last seen in mid-August 2024. The spike followed U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports announced on Friday, which shifted market expectations around supply and demand.
Treasury yields extended their ascent, with the 10-year yield climbing to 4.79% and the 30-year yield rising to 4.97%, reflecting heightened expectations for tighter monetary policy. Bank of America Securities launched a bombshell indicating rising risks towards a rate hike as the next Fed move.
Commodity markets saw mixed action. Gold endured its sharpest daily loss in nearly a month, falling more than 1% as rising yields weighed on the precious metal. Meanwhile, copper staged a modest rebound, gaining 0.8% after a 0.5% decline last Friday.
Cryptocurrencies faced renewed volatility, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunging 3% to dip below $92,000, briefly touching a two-month low. The ripple effects extended to crypto-linked equities: MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) slid more than 3%, while Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) dropped nearly 4%.

Canada is considering export taxes on goods, including uranium, oil and potash, if President-elect Donald Trump imposes the broad<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42451262/canadian-oil-sector-hedges-trump-tariff-risk-us-midwest-refineries-could-be-affected"> tariffs he pledged. </a>
The Details: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/canada-weighs-export-taxes-on-uranium-oil-if-trump-starts-trade-war?srnd=homepage-americas">report</a>, retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made goods and export controls on certain Canadian products are most likely, with export levies also on the table as a last resort. The Bloomberg report cited officials familiar with discussions inside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.&nbsp;
The sources also said Trudeau's government may consider expanding its powers over export controls as part of a scheduled update on the country's fiscal and economic conditions.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: U.S. oil refineries, especially in the Midwest, rely heavily on Canadian crude oil imports. Export levies would increase the cost of imported Canadian oil and potentially squeeze refinery margins. Some of the largest oil refiners in the U.S. are Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) and Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).

Canadian export taxes on uranium could be devastating to U.S. nuclear energy producers with Canada supplying about a quarter of the uranium U.S. producers use for their nuclear reactors.&nbsp;
Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), the largest owner of non-rate-regulated nuclear plants in the U.S., and Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which operates 11 nuclear units in North and South Carolina, could face supply disruptions as domestic uranium production is virtually nonexistent. The companies could pass along the increased costs to consumers in areas served by nuclear power plants.
American farmers rely heavily on imports of Canadian potash as a source of fertilizer. If Canada imposes export levies on potash,&nbsp;several American farm-related stocks could be affected due to the reliance of U.S. agriculture on the fertilizer.
Companies tied to crops heavily dependent on potash, such as soybeans, corn, sugar beets and potatoes could see increased costs. These companies include Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) and Bunge Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BG#NYSE">BG</a>). Food producers, like General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) and Kellanova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/K#NYSE">K</a>) may face higher input costs for agricultural products reliant on potash fertilizers and could pass those costs along to consumers.

Shares of oil and gas companies are lower ahead of OPEC's supply decision on Thursday. The commodity may be falling due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The incoming Donald Trump administration's ambitious energy plans, including a 3 million barrels per oil equivalent a day (mboe/d) production boost, a potential 25% tariff on Canadian oil and gas imports, and accelerated liquified natural gas (LNG) export approvals, could reshape U.S. energy markets — but not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42225506/canada-prepares-retaliatory-tariffs-as-trumps-threat-looms-analysts-warn-of-further-loonie-weakness">without winners and losers</a>.
In note to clients on Thursday, Goldman Sachs crunched the numbers on what could be seismic changes in U.S. energy markets under a Trump's second term. 
Let's break it down: what's realistic, what's speculative, and who bears the cost in this evolving energy landscape.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can The US Really Pump An Extra 3M Barrels a Day?</h3>
Trump's vision of ramping U.S. energy production by 3mboe/d from 2025 to 2028 is ambitious but not entirely unrealistic, according to Goldman.
It can be &#8220;achievable&#8221; by 2028, provided natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are included in the mix, according to analyst Callum Bruce, CFA. 
Between 2018 and 2023, U.S. energy production grew at an annual pace of 1.8mboe/d — more than double the 0.75mboe/d pace needed to hit that 3mboe/d goal. For 2025-2026, Goldman forecasts growth of 2.0mboe/d, achieving two-thirds of the target in the first two years of a possible Trump second term.
"Rising LNG demand, capital discipline, and energy prices are the key drivers behind this growth," Bruce said. However, policy changes are expected to have limited short-term effects on production.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What A 25% Tariff On Canadian Oil Could Mean</h3>
The administration&#8217;s other attention-grabbing idea — a 25% tariff on Canadian oil imports—has raised some eyebrows.
Canada is the U.S.'s largest crude oil supplier, exporting 4.0 million barrels per day (mb/d) to the U.S. over the past year — about 25% of total U.S. refinery inputs.
Most of that oil (2.8mb/d) heads to the Midwest, where refiners rely heavily on Canadian crude.
Key players in this market include Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>), and Exxon Mobile Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>). 
Goldman's analysis suggests a 25% tariff on Canadian oil imports would hit U.S. consumers in the short term through higher gas prices at the pump. However, over time, the burden could shift. 
At a later stage, Canadian producers could bear the brunt as they offer steep discounts to keep their oil flowing south. Western Canadian Select (WCS) crude, currently priced just under $60/barrel, could face a tariff-induced discount of $15/barrel to compete with U.S. alternatives.
Currently, WCS trades at just under $60 per barrel. A 25% tariff would add roughly $15 per barrel to costs, pressuring Canadian producers to cut prices and incentivizing U.S. refiners to seek cheaper alternatives.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs On Canadian Gas: Who Pays?</h3>
A 25% tariff on Canadian natural gas would tell a slightly different story.
Canadian gas exports to the U.S. average 5-6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), accounting for 5% of U.S. supply. A 25% tariff on these imports would likely squeeze Canadian producers in the short term, 
According to Goldman Sachs, a 25% tariff could slash U.S. imports by approximately 200 million cubic feet per day, based on current price differentials.
Goldman projects that, in the short term, Canadian producers would shoulder most of the tariff burden due to oversupply and low prices. But tighter U.S. gas balances from 2026 onward — driven by higher LNG exports — could allow more of the cost to be passed on to American consumers.
"Canadian gas producers would likely bear the bulk of the burden until U.S. balances tighten from 2026," he said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LNG Exports: Speeding Up Approvals Won't Move the Needle (Yet)</h3>
The report is skeptical that accelerating U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) approvals for LNG export projects will have any material impact on global or domestic gas balances before 2027.
"DOE approval is necessary, but not sufficient, for new LNG projects to move forward," Bruce said. Long-term capacity contracts and the time-intensive construction process remain the bigger hurdles.
That said, U.S. LNG exports are still on track to more than double by 2030, reaching 25 Bcf/d and increasing the U.S.'s global market share from 22% to 31%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Winners And Losers</h3>
Goldman's analysis offers a clear takeaway: while the energy boom may lift U.S. production, tariffs and policy changes could ripple through markets in ways that aren't always predictable.
Trump's proposed energy policies could reshape North American energy markets, but the impact varies depending on the player:
<ul>
<li>U.S. Consumers: Likely to face higher gas prices in the short term if Canadian tariffs are imposed.</li>
<li>Canadian Producers: Under pressure from lower prices for both oil and natural gas.</li>
<li>U.S. Producers: Positioned to capitalize on higher domestic production targets and rising LNG exports.</li>
<li>Midwest Refiners: Will face margin pressure but may offset costs by negotiating deeper discounts on Canadian crude.</li>

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Marathon Petroleum, Lowers Price Target to $159

Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday. Scotiabank analyst Paul. Y. Cheng, with a Sector Outperform rating and a $170 price target, shared views on third-quarter<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results reported yesterday</a>.
On Tuesday, Marathon Petroleum reported revenue of $35.4 billion, topping estimates. Adjusted EPS<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41744366/marathon-petroleum-q3-earnings-outpaces-expectations-powers-up-shareholder-rewards-more" rel="noreferrer noopener"> was $1.87 vs. $0.98 expected</a>.
Marathon Petroleum expects&nbsp;fourth-quarter Refining operating costs per barrel of&nbsp;$5.50 and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">Refinery throughputs of 2,880 mbpd</a>.&nbsp;
The analyst expects results to positively impact near-term share price performance, with refining operations performing strongly. Throughput, unit cost, margin capture, and turnaround expenses all exceeded expectations.
Cheng notes robust commercial operations and efficient turnaround execution were key contributors to the beat.
This marks the second consecutive quarter of better-than-expected margin capture, which could renew the shares&#8217; momentum, adds the analyst.
However, Cheng says that the fourth-quarter outlook is weaker than anticipated, with throughput outlook below their previous estimate of 2,970 mbbl/d.
The Mid-Con region is expected to underperform relative to their expectations, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>) and&nbsp;VanEck Oil Refiners ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRAK#NYSE">CRAK</a>).
Price Action: MPC shares are up 3.49% at $154.78 at the last check Wednesday.
