This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Methanex Corp (MX-T) is currently experiencing a mixed but generally positive outlook among experts. One analyst highlights strong performance indicators, such as RSI, and suggests that the ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the US-Iran situation, favor the fertilizers and chemicals sector, predicting continued rally in Methanex's stock. Another perspective acknowledges a recent breakout followed by a slight pullback, noting that the stock is resting on historical support levels, which could signal further upward movement if it breaks through certain price points. However, there is a cautious tone as one expert discusses a potential 32% drop in EPS year-over-year and a 5% decline in revenue forecasts, advising investors to wait for clearer signs of recovery and confirming upward trends. Overall, while there is potential for price appreciation and a decent dividend yield, the stock's current positioning below key moving averages suggests a careful watch is warranted before making significant investment moves.

PARTIAL SELL

World’s largest methanol producer. Made a lot of money off this stock but has been selling into the recent strength. His Fair Value estimate is about $70-$75 so, when you’re getting that close to it in a cyclical stock, you might want to take a little off the table, especially after it has had such a good run.

HOLD

Thinks the dividend is going to go up and that they will buy back stock. This is because cash flow growth is strong and the level of CapX will be diminished relative to the last few years so free cash flow will be very strong.

BUY

Likes it and continues to hold it. Good operating margin.

SELL

A single commodity company and it is a commodity that can easily go into excess supply. There is new production coming on in the Middle East and South America. Doesn’t see much upside. If you own, he would take profits on it now.

PARTIAL SELL

Base was built and away we go. He would look at when would he take some off the table. Things are a little bit extended. RSI is getting close to 80 and the recent move is probably a kind of blow off move.

BUY

We have taken out multi-year resistance. Some good things happening but when things go bad it can go really bad. You don’t what to see the stock coming back into the channel ($25ish).

COMMENT

Just announced that they had done a deal on their Louisiana plant with Chesapeake energy and the stock rose about 8% in a day so he took his money off the table. Yield had come down to about 2.1% so he replaced this with a stock that had a higher yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 16/12, Up 22.73%) Methanol keeps going higher and tracks the price of oil. They are moving from Nat Gas in the plant in Chili to Coal in Louisiana.

WATCH

Has had a very nice play off Natural Gas. It is a very cyclical stock in a pattern that is quite unique. Great global distribution network. He would wait until it falls to mid $20s and buy when people don’t want it. Being over sold is the beginning of the time to begin acquiring a position.

COMMENT

Thinks this will be lacking for at catalyst for the next few quarters or so. They are focused on moving some of their plants. They need to get inputs, which are either coal or natural gas to produce methanol and are having a lot of trouble securing low-cost natural gas. Very shareholder friendly company. He is hoping 2013 will be a better year for them.

BUY

The 200 day moving average is still rising so the trend is still upwards. This is at the bottom of an up channel and he would think it will at least have a run-up to the upper channel.

DON'T BUY

Methanol demand is weakening. Natural gas is an input cost, which is a plus. China has been a big consumer of methanol, which has helped but they are now expending their own methanol capacity.

DON'T BUY
Somewhat cyclical because methanol is used for a lot of chemical process applications so will be sensitive to economic growth. Wait to see how the macro economy plays out.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 6/11. Up 0.52%.) Cheap in put costs of natural gas helps them. Their problem is they can't find natural gas so they are relocating a plant in Chile to Louisiana. Still likes. Cheap at 10X earnings. Nice history of increasing dividends.
COMMENT
This is a cyclical type company so it goes up and down based on how the economy is doing globally. Right now is very positive for this company. Natural gas is so cheap but they can't benefit because they're not in the right areas. They are moving some of their plants. Besides natural gas, they can also make methanol from coal whose prices are also low.
