Murphy Oil

Murphy Oil is among the world’s largest Integrated Oil and Gas sector businesses in the world.  Murphy Oil’s employees generate $635.0M in profits on $14.720B of revenue.  Global output in the Integrated Oil and Gas business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Murphy Oil is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Integrated Oil and Gas segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Murphy Oil’s ticker symbol MUR has recently been trading near $60.12 a share.  The Murphy Oil corporate headquarters in El Dorado AR predicts Integrated Oil and Gas profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $11.310B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.34, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Murphy Oil moves less aggressively.
