Marathon Oil Co.'s shares have been sold by multiple institutions, including
US Bancorp DE,
Concurrent Investment Advisors LLC and
Swiss National Bank. The stock performance has raised questions about the company's financial health. A downgrade by
JPMorgan citing an earnings estimate miss played a pivotal role in this scenario. However, the company found respite as
ConocoPhillips proposed a buyout, triggering an immediate 8.4% surge in stock value. Furthermore, Marathon Oil's earnings beat estimates for Q4, compelling investors to hold onto their shares. It is believed that the
ConocoPhillips-Marathon merger might be the last among the majors. Various firms, such as
Avantax Advisory Services Inc and
BNP PARIBAS ASSET MANAGEMENT are expanding their stock positions in Marathon Oil. Despite this, the company's stocks have seen a dip, prompting experts to question the risks associated with the investment. In prior developments, Marathon Oil agreed to pay $241M for environmental violations. The scheduled payment of a dividend amount of $0.11 has received positive feedback. All in all, the acquisition by ConocoPhillips might turn around Marathon Oil's financial situation, and analysts anticipate accretive financials and an enhanced asset base post-acquisition.
