The main theme is the acquisition of Marathon Oil Co. (MRO) by ConocoPhillips in an all-stock deal, which has caused varied market reactions. Despite pressures and downgrades by several entities, the stock recorded gains and had some strong trading days. A set of transactions also occurred, like when Mutual of America Capital Management LLC and Financial Counselors Inc. sold off large quantities of shares, and Private Advisor Group LLC and Mediolanum International Funds Ltd increased their holdings. Reception of the MRO shares' performance before and after the earnings report tiled in favor of strong momentum. This is reenforced by Analyst forecast of 30% stock upswing by 2024. Despite the overall market underperformance, the stock price has risen, earning MRO an improved RS rating. The ConocoPhillips acquisition sets a path for growth, with anticipations of improved financials and a strong asset base. However, Scotiabank lowered MRO's rating to 'Sector Perform'. The investment in MRO is seen as a risky one but still holds due to bullish Wall St. views.
