Murphy USA (MUSA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Murphy USA experienced a nearly 1% increase in total food and beverage sales in the first quarter, underscoring a gradual growth in its in-store offerings. Additionally, the company reported improved trends for the second quarter to date, with fuel volume remaining flat to slightly up and an increase in retail fuel margins, which rose from +2 CPG in the first quarter to approximately +28 CPG in April and early May. This combination of stable fuel volume and improving retail margins positions Murphy USA favorably within the competitive landscape of fuel retailing and convenience store operations.
Bears say
Murphy USA reported an EBITDA of $157 million, which is a 4.2% decline and significantly below the consensus estimate of $196 million. Additionally, the company experienced a 1.9% decrease in retail fuel volumes, totaling 1.1 billion gallons, alongside a same-store sales decline of 4.2% in fuel volume. The first-quarter earnings per share (EPS) fell short of Wall Street expectations, largely due to lower-than-anticipated retail fuel margins, contributing to the overall negative outlook on the company's financial performance.
