November 3 is the next date
Marathon Petroleum said on September 17, 2026 that it will report third-quarter financial results on November 3, 2026 and hold its conference call at 11:00 a.m. EST. The date gives the market a defined checkpoint after the strong second-quarter comparison.
The next report will test whether the second-quarter revenue growth of 53.50 percent and earnings per share of USD 17.73 can be sustained into the third quarter. Until then, the stock remains close to its USD 470.00 yearly high, while its valuation sits below the Mizuho target of USD 457.00 only when measured against the analyst's reference framework. Marathon Petroleum operates refining, marketing and midstream assets, so earnings sensitivity remains tied to both refining conditions and its logistics platform.
