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

該公司的煉油和營(yíng)銷利潤(rùn)率在4月—6月當(dāng)季增長(zhǎng)了兩倍，達(dá)到每桶37.54美元，與Phillips 66等競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的收益類似，并推動(dòng)馬拉松股價(jià)在盤前交易中上漲4%。

過(guò)去兩年，全球煉油產(chǎn)能下降，因?yàn)橐咔橐l(fā)的需求沖擊迫使幾家利潤(rùn)較低的企業(yè)關(guān)閉了工廠，而西方制裁使本已供應(yīng)充足的市場(chǎng)更加緊張。

馬拉松的煉油廠第二季度接近滿負(fù)荷運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，總?cè)债a(chǎn)量為310萬(wàn)桶，而去年同期的利用率為94%，總?cè)胀掏铝繛?90萬(wàn)桶。對(duì)于第三季度，該公司預(yù)計(jì)日吞吐量為290萬(wàn)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(lái)最多的一次。這一數(shù)字超過(guò)了分析師平均預(yù)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.
