On CAPS, 96% of the 199 members who have rated Marathon believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this week, one of those Fools, NextYearInVegas, tapped Marathon as a particularly attractive bargain opportunity:
Undervalued by [P/E ratio] and [dividend yield]. I see this sector balancing up going forward. Not sure why it's as depressed as it is right now, but willing to bet on upside for the next couple of years.
