How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 11.8x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: MPLX is currently trading at $55.90, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $53.24 to $55.72. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 12.3) is in line with its historical norms (11.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.4% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, MPLX is in a strong uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $54.36. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.

Market Sentiment: MPLX has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
