What we can say
We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, MUR trades at a recent price of $42.49, a market capitalisation of about $6,092,263,936, sitting 95% of the way up its 52-week range ($26.49–$43.34), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing MUR's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 21.0× (in line with the peer median of 21.6×); Fwd P/E of 11.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 14.8×); P/B of 1.2× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.7×); P/S of 2.0× (in line with the peer median of 2.1×); EV/EBITDA of 4.5× (cheaper than the peer median of 9.4×); Dividend yield of 3.3% (cheaper than the peer median of 2.4%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. MUR shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 1.16 and book value of $36.69 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. MUR is in an up-trend (price above both its 50- and 200-day averages), trading -2.0% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +51.4%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
