Marathon Petroleum Corporation : Benefit from the uptrend
By Josselin Giraud
Entry price | Target | Stop-loss | Potential |
---|---|---|---|
$57.92 | $67.5 | $55.2 | +16.54% |
The company shows strong fundamentals. Firstly, the security is undervalued compared to its peers with an EV/Sales ratio estimated at 0.27 by Thomson Reuters consensus for this year. Moreover, the consensus revised upward EPS estimates for this year and that let see a great potential for the security on the stock market.
Technically, the security shows a bullish configuration on all time scales. Prices are supported by increasing moving averages. In weekly data, 20-week moving average helps the stock to keep its uptrend.
According to both technical and fundamental elements, it seems opportune to take a long position at the current price. The bullish trend should allow the security to reach the USD 69.5 resistance. A stop loss will be placed under the USD 55.6 short term support to avoid a downtrend.
