On the filings behind it, Marathon Petroleum Corp. earns 6.3 out of 10 for business quality as of October 19, 2026. That is solid quality on our scale. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Ranked with the 87 Energy companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 80th percentile, inside the top quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 5.9. Marathon Petroleum Corp. is above that typical reading.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s profitability score is 7.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.5 among 84 Energy companies, that is well above the group and the 73rd percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s solvency score is 7.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.5 among 79 Energy companies, that is above the group and the 56th percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
Growth scores 4.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 66 Energy companies is 5.2, so Marathon Petroleum Corp. is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 38th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s efficiency score is 8.4 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.5 among 81 Energy companies, that is well above the group and the 95th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.
Predictability scores 4.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 86 Energy companies is 3.1, so Marathon Petroleum Corp. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 79th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 8.4 but growth only 4.6, a gap of 3.8 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Energy companies, 5.2, Marathon Petroleum Corp. would score about 6.4 instead of 6.3. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
