Marathon Petroleum just smashed Q2 2026 earnings with a $5.1 billion net profit—up from $1.2 billion last year—and EPS jumped to $17.73, up from $3.96. The surge? Refining margins more than doubled to $36.33/barrel thanks to stronger crack spreads, while renewable diesel flipped from a $19M loss to a $258M profit. Midstream operations also climbed to $1.8B, fueled by higher rates and smart acquisitions. New refinery upgrades in El Paso (more specialty gas) and Robinson (10K bpd jet fuel) are paying off, and MPLX is boosting capex by $500M for LNG facilities. Marathon’s returning over $2.8B to shareholders this quarter—with strong cash reserves and zero debt—making it a powerhouse play for investors.
