I own MRO. I have also added several other undervalued energy names in the last couple of weeks:

APA - Apache Corp
DVN - Devon Energy
RDS.A - Royal Dutch Shell
BHI - Baker Hughes Inc
SU - Suncor Energy

I assume you mean MPC not MRO. MRO is the E&P part and MPC is the refining and marketing operation of Marathon Oil pre-spinoff.

MRO is currently not in bargain territory, imo.

Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) - Started initial position
Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) - Peeled off a few shares @ $109.75/share

My CVX holdings (my top position) was getting too large as a percentage of the portfolio (almost 8%) so I peeled off a few shares bringing the percentage down to a 7% position and put the proceeds into MRO.

I have owned MRO in the past. The EKS$ is $38.5/share almost 40% undervalued from the EKS$ value. More importantly the McDef report rates it undervalued w/ a .55 ratio vs CVX at .66.

Marathon Oil (MRO – Contrarian Buy)
Shale Growth, Dollar Hedge
July 10, 2012
goo.gl

Down 30% in price from the high of $35 on February 28, the stock of Contrarian Buy Marathon Oil (MRO) offers new shale oil growth and a long-term hedge against the devaluation of the dollar at the lowest McDep Ratio of 0.55 among U.S. Independent Producers in our coverage. Paced by Eagle Ford and Bakken shale oil, onshore U.S. production is growing some 30% in 2012 toward reaching about 30% of global oil and gas production at year end. At 90%, MRO is most concentrated among peers on oil production, a real resource likely to retain its value as the supply of dollars expands artificially to handle mounting debt that could not otherwise be repaid.
