Murphy in Line, Robust Production – Analyst Blog

38%

Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) posted earnings from continuing operations of 98 cents per share in the third quarter, almost in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. However, results were significantly below earnings of $3.04 reported last year, largely driven by lower commodity prices in the Exploration & Production (E&P) segment accompanied by lower earnings from the Refining & Marketing (R&M) operations.  Earnings from Murphy’s E&P business declined 65% from a year ago, primarily based on lower oil and gas prices, higher production costs and depreciation.

Murphy Oil is meeting production estimates MUR

+3.00% in 75 days Filed under: Oil, Stocks to Buy I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR), first recommended on April 29, 2009 at a price of $47.80.

A reader noted that I felt a huge rally, really huge, would come but I should note that it came a little over two months after I would have thought and has exceeded any duration I would have thought reasonable. Going up 40-50% is not necessarily shocking only because it has happened before in short violent spurts but in another week the rall... Continue reading »

Murphy Oil knows production eventually turns into profits MUR

+22.68% in 119 days (closed on 08/26/09) Filed under: Oil, Stocks to Buy The Obama administration's admirable goal to create a more self-reliant, energy-independent nation and the impact of efforts to first limit, then eliminate global warming from fossil fuels opens the door to alternative energy source development. But, as Saudi Arabia reminds us, and the world, barring a breakthrough technology, fossil fuels will remain a major energy source for at least the next thirty to fifty years. In other words, the reign of oil has merely paused, not ended, which is why it's prudent to review Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR).<><>Continue rea... Continue reading »

The week in preview: High hopes for McDonald's, Pfizer, Netflix, P&G

Filed under: Earnings reports, Forecasts, Pfizer (PFE), McDonald's (MCD), Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), Procter and Gamble (PG), Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) <>Lots of quarterly reports to come this week, and if you're one of those looking to earnings for signs of the direction of the markets or of the economy, well its going to be a rough week. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, by and large, expect earnings declines to be deeper and more numerous than earnings gains. And that's true across sectors: Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), U.S. Steel Corp. (NYSE: X), <>Wells Far... Continue reading »
