MURMurphy Oil Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in, but at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for a decline (~−20% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 9% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 19.1 vs a 10.1 median over 23 quarters (+90% vs median).
Sector median 12.7× across 65 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
