MPC Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% MEDIUM
MPC Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (FADE) A reported beat is likely to be helped by roughly $0.25/share of derivative-timing recovery and exceptionally strong 2Q cracks; pred ~$6.55 EPS vs. cons $6.30. A modestly lower 3Q throughput guide of ~2.86 MMBbl/d versus 2.90 MMBbl/d constrains out-period refining EBITDA revisions, so the initial positive reaction should partially fade. MEDIUM
