Murphy Oil's cash earnings outlast reported profit, but heavy reinvestment keeps the business structurally cash-hungry.
From FY2023 to FY2025, operating cash flow slipped from$1.75B to$1.25B , but cash generation still held up far better than earnings. That mismatch comes from nearly$978M of annual depreciation and FY2025 investing outflows of$1.03B , which make this a cash-generative yet capital-hungry business whose accounting profit swings more sharply than its operating cash.
