Murphy USA (MUSA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Murphy USA has demonstrated resilient performance, with total food and beverage sales increasing nearly 1% in the first quarter, indicating a steady demand for in-store offerings. Moreover, trends in the second quarter show improvements, characterized by flat to slightly increased fuel volume and enhanced retail fuel margins, which rose by 3 cents per gallon compared to the prior quarter. The company's predominant revenue stream from fuel retailing, combined with sustained growth in food and beverage sales, positions Murphy USA favorably in the convenience retail sector.
Bears say
Murphy USA reported an EBITDA of $157 million, representing a 4.2% decrease and falling short of the consensus expectation of $196 million. The company's retail fuel volumes declined by 1.9%, totaling 1.1 billion gallons, alongside a same-store sales (SSS) drop of 4.2% in retail fuel volume. Additionally, the first quarter earnings per share (EPS) missed expectations, largely due to lower-than-anticipated retail fuel margins, indicating potential challenges in the firm's profitability.
