Older opinion from Mr. DartDec 2020.
Given the company's exceptional economics in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and continued drilling success, which should add to the mine life, Marathon continues to be a top-5 takeover target among my top 12 top takeover targets in the sector. However, with the stock trading within 10% of its target price, I don't plan to add to my position at current levels. Ultimately, the best-case scenario for investors is no takeover and the team taking this into production, because while it will lead to a longer investment timeline, my fair value in production is above US$3.25.
