據(jù)MRCHUB網(wǎng)站8月3日莫斯科報道，據(jù)路透社稱，馬拉松石油（Marathon Petroleum）周二突破季度獲利預估，成為最新一家從產(chǎn)能緊張和庫存低引發(fā)的燃油價格飆升中獲益的美國煉油商。

該公司的煉油和營銷利潤率在4月—6月當季增長了兩倍，達到每桶37.54美元，與Phillips 66等競爭對手的收益類似，并推動馬拉松股價在盤前交易中上漲4%。

過去兩年，全球煉油產(chǎn)能下降，因為疫情引發(fā)的需求沖擊迫使幾家利潤較低的企業(yè)關閉了工廠，而西方制裁使本已供應充足的市場更加緊張。

馬拉松的煉油廠第二季度接近滿負荷運轉，總日產(chǎn)量為310萬桶，而去年同期的利用率為94%，總日吞吐量為290萬桶。對于第三季度，該公司預計日吞吐量為290萬桶。

根據(jù)Refinitiv的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，該公司公布的調(diào)整后收入為56.9億美元，即每股10.61美元，是至少五年來最多的一次。這一數(shù)字超過了分析師平均預期的每股8.04美元。

Marathon Petroleum posts bumper profit on soaring fuel prices

Marathon Petroleum smashed quarterly profit estimates on Tuesday, the latest U.S. refiner to benefit from a surge in fuel prices sparked by tight capacity and low inventories, said Reuters.

The company's refining and marketing margins tripled to USD37.54 per barrel in the April-June quarter, mirroring similar gains at rivals such as Phillips 66 and sending Marathon's shares 4% higher in premarket trading.

Global refining capacity has declined in the past two years because the pandemic-driven demand hit forced several less profitable operations to shut shop, while Western sanctions have tightened an already-supplied market.

Marathon's refineries ran at nearly full capacity in the second quarter, resulting in a total throughput of 3.1 MMbpd, compared with utilization of 94% and a total throughput of 2.9 MMbpd a year earlier. For the third quarter, the company expects a throughput of 2.9 MMbpd.

The company posted an adjusted income of USD5.69 B, or USD10.61 per share, the largest in at least five years, according to Refinitiv data. The figure sailed past the average analyst estimate of USD8.04 per share.
