Marathon Petroleum 以约 40 亿美元将两座炼油厂出售给 CVR Energy，在这笔交易中占了上风——堪称绝对划算，因为这些资产不到 Marathon 炼油产能的 5%。说话者质疑，为何业内最优秀的运营商会在周期顶部出售资产，并指出 Marathon 此前曾先出售一处设施、随后又收购了买方，因此它可能意在最终拿下 CVR。
逐段跳播
所以我们看到一笔交易：Carl Icon，算是1980年代的企业掠夺者之一，他拥有一家叫CVR Energy的公司。他们是一家炼油商。他们正从Marathon Petroleum手中购买炼油厂，这是全国最大的炼油厂之一，价格约为40亿美元。
And so we got a deal where Carl Icon, kind of one of the corporate raiders of the 1980s, who owns a company called CVR Energy. They're an oil refiner. uh they are buying refineries from Marathon Petroleum, one of the largest refineries in the country for about $4 billion.
所以本质上，业内最好的运营商、最有经验的运营商正在周期顶部出售资产。这让我有点想知道为什么。所以，我认为Marathon在这笔交易中占了上风，但我很好奇你怎么看，因为你更算是能源专家。
So essentially the best operator the most experienced operator in the industry is selling assets at the top of the cycle. Uh it makes me kind of wonder why. So, I I think Marathon's getting the better end of this deal, but I'm curious to as to what you think since you're kind of more the energy expert.
我看了看，然后说：“哇，我觉得Marathon可能把他们宰了。”我真的不确定Icon在这里做什么。他买的两家炼油厂，一家在密歇根，一家在北达科他。就总炼油产能而言，这还不到Marathon Petroleum实际产量的5%，而他们仍然为此支付了40亿美元。我认为这绝对是一笔超值买卖。
I looked at it and I said, "Wow, I think Marathon might have fleeced them." I'm really not sure what what Icon was doing here. Uh the two refineries that he's buying, one's in uh Michigan, one is in North Dakota.
In terms of like total refining capacity, it is less than 5% of what Marathon Petroleum actually makes, and they're still getting $4 billion for it. I thought this was an absolute steal.
不过，退出路径是这样的。这是Marathon第二次出售这类设施，因为他们之前卖过一次，然后又买下了买家。所以也许这一切只是，也许这就像五维棋，他希望最终通过这种方式把CVR卖掉。
So here's the exit though. This is the second time Marathon has sold one of these facilities because they previously sold it and then bought the buyer. So maybe this is all just maybe it's like five-dimensional chess and he's hoping to get CVR sold eventually this way.
