Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:MPC)

The financial data reveals several notable trends relating to the market value, invested capital, and market value added (MVA) for the company over a five-year period ending in 2023.

Market (fair) value

The market value demonstrates a generally increasing trend over the period. Starting from approximately $73.5 billion in 2019, it experienced a rise to about $80.7 billion in 2020, dipped slightly to $73.9 billion in 2021, and then resumed growth reaching around $85.9 billion in 2022 and further to $89.8 billion in 2023. The fluctuations suggest sensitivity to market conditions in 2021 but overall indicate positive valuation growth over the entire span.

Invested capital

Invested capital presents a declining trajectory across the years. It decreased from approximately $82 billion in 2019 to about $70.2 billion in 2020, continuing downwards to $63.6 billion in 2021. A minor recovery occurred in 2022 with an increase to $69.5 billion, followed by a decline again to $63.9 billion in 2023. This downward movement could imply divestments, asset reductions, or higher efficiency in capital deployment.

Market value added (MVA)

MVA shows a remarkable improvement over time. It was negative in 2019 at -$8.5 billion, indicating that the market value was below the invested capital at that time. However, from 2020 onwards, MVA turns positive, reaching about $10.5 billion and maintaining similar levels in 2021 ($10.4 billion). It then surged significantly to $16.3 billion in 2022 and further to $25.9 billion in 2023. This substantial rise signals increasing market confidence and value creation exceeding the invested capital base.

In summary, while invested capital decreased overall, the market value displayed growth with some volatility, and the market value added improved from a negative position to strong positive gains by the end of the period. These patterns collectively suggest enhanced value generation and possibly improved capital efficiency or market perception in recent years.

The financial data reveals several notable trends over the five-year period ending December 31, 2023. The Market Value Added (MVA) demonstrated a significant turnaround, shifting from a negative value in 2019 to substantially positive values in the following years. Specifically, the MVA rose from -8,515 million US dollars in 2019 to 10,464 million in 2020, maintaining a relatively stable level in 2021 and subsequently increasing markedly through 2022 and 2023, reaching 25,910 million US dollars. This trend indicates improved market valuation and enhanced shareholder value creation during the period.

Invested capital displayed a fluctuating but generally declining trend. Starting at 82,004 million US dollars in 2019, it decreased to 63,897 million by the end of 2023. The most considerable decreases occurred between 2019 and 2021, followed by a slight increase in 2022 before falling again in 2023. This pattern may suggest ongoing capital restructuring or asset optimization efforts impacting the invested capital base.

The MVA spread ratio, which measures the return relative to invested capital, experienced a dramatic improvement over the analyzed timeframe. Beginning at a negative 10.38% in 2019, it turned positive and steadily grew each year, achieving 40.55% by 2023. This upward trajectory indicates enhanced profitability or market efficiency in generating returns exceeding the cost of capital.

Market Value Added (MVA)

Shifted from negative in 2019 to strongly positive in 2023, reflecting improved market perception and value creation.

Invested Capital

Overall declining trend with intermittent increases, suggesting possible capital optimization or asset disposal activities.

MVA Spread Ratio

Consistently improved from -10.38% to 40.55%, indicating enhanced returns relative to invested capital over the years.

In summary, the data illustrates a positive shift in market valuation and efficiency in capital use, despite reductions in the invested capital base. The growing MVA and spread ratio imply that the company has increasingly delivered value to shareholders through improved financial performance and capital management.

The financial data for the periods from the end of 2019 to the end of 2023 reveals several significant trends.

Market Value Added (MVA)

The MVA showed a striking turnaround over the five-year span. Initially, in 2019, the figure was significantly negative at -8,515 million US dollars, indicating a period when the company was not generating value beyond its invested capital. However, starting in 2020, the MVA became positive, registering 10,464 million US dollars and maintaining elevated levels in the subsequent years, increasing further to 25,910 million US dollars by 2023. This upward trajectory suggests improving investor perceptions and a growing value creation for shareholders.

Sales and Other Operating Revenues

Sales and other operating revenues experienced volatility across the period observed. In 2019, revenues were recorded at 123,949 million US dollars, then sharply declined to 69,779 million US dollars in 2020, likely reflecting external economic challenges or market disruptions. Subsequently, revenues recovered notably in 2021 and peaked at 177,453 million US dollars in 2022, before experiencing a moderate decline to 148,379 million US dollars in 2023. This pattern suggests cyclical or market-dependent influences affecting sales performance.

MVA Margin (%)

The MVA margin, representing the ratio of market value added to sales, showed a marked improvement from a negative position of -6.87% in 2019 to a significant positive turnaround of 15% in 2020. Although it declined slightly to 8.67% in 2021 and remained relatively stable around 9.21% in 2022, this margin increased substantially again in 2023 to 17.46%. This overall upward trend in MVA margin signifies enhanced efficiency in value generation relative to sales revenue.

In summary, the data signifies a positive trend in the company’s value creation capacity and market perception from 2019 onward, despite fluctuations in revenue figures. The strong rebounding and growth in both MVA and MVA margin in the later years highlight improved operational and market performance.
