Bulls say

Marathon Petroleum is positioned for positive growth, especially as it achieves the successful integration of its recent MarkWestEnergy acquisition and progresses with planned synergistic capital spending, which will enhance its midstream assets. The company's lower risk profile is secured by its contracted relationships with refining company sponsors, in contrast to many of its peers. Additionally, while it faces regulatory challenges from recent legislation and potential margin changes as its customer base broadens, these risks are mitigated by the company's diversification and proactive expansion efforts.

Bears say

Marathon Petroleum is exposed to business interruption risk due to potential damage to their pipelines and plants caused by natural disasters or third-party actions, which may negatively impact their operations and revenue. They are also vulnerable to changes in the regulatory environment concerning hydraulic fracturing, which could lead to potential reductions or delays in natural gas production by customers and adversely impact their revenues. Lastly, a significant challenge lies in the high volatility of refining margins and potential decrease in gross margins and cash flows if they fail to secure attractive renewal terms for existing contracts, alongside their possible engagement in contracts that might expose them to commodity risk, jeopardizing their ability to maintain steady cash flow and pay distributions.
