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.

BUY
Had some fundamental bad news when they closed down a factory in South America. Probably trying to find a level at $17. It should be a good point to get in with the expectation that the bad news is so old that the market is no longer affected by it.
DON'T BUY
Methanol has somewhat lost some of the battle to ethanol. On the other hand, there has been a build up in capacity over the last few years which depressed the price of, but not sure there is any new capacity coming on stream in the next couple of years. Feed stock is natural gas, so margins are getting squeezed. Would stand back and wait.
DON'T BUY
Not positive on this stock. The ROE level is not as great as other companies and there's some erosion in that profitability. Valuation is OK, but not enough that it's going to outperform the market.
TOP PICK
Methanol manufacturing requires natural gas, but this company has some low cost sources somewhat locked in in Argentina. Good price. They are rolling in cash. A potential income trust or a special dividend situation.
BUY
Had a Chilean problem along with some other problems and the stock backed off. At this stage, it's probably oversold enough to turn around and start moving on the upside. Use $17 as a stop/loss.
DON'T BUY
Share price is peforming very poorly in quite a strong market. There are concerns on the price of MBTE.
DON'T BUY
A very unique Canadian company. An industry leader in its field. They should benefit from high natural gas prices because it's a domestic industry and they have the ability to operate outside of North America. Didn't do as well as they should have done. More of a trading stock than a long term investment.
DON'T BUY
The trend line shows a break in the spring. The line also shows a weaker high and a lower high. There could be more so would not be a holder.
BUY
A good play on resources. Relatively cheap.
TOP PICK
Looks cheap on a cash flow basis. Sold off very sharply because Argentina cut the gas supply to the plant they own in Chile. Gas supplies have been restarted at 85% of normal. There'll be a blip in the cash flow one quarter. They are making so much money with methanol at current prices that it will hardly be noticed.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 11/05. Down 10%.) Had a bad announcement in June regarding Chile which created a reaction. Now a buying opportunity. Long term chart is still positive.
SELL
Have had trouble with their feed stock recently. Prices are at an unsustainably high level.
BUY
Had bad news this week. Argentina has restricted the supply of natural gas to its methane plants in Chile, so won't be able to produce as much methanol. Probably a buying opportunity. There'll be a global tightening on methonal as a result of this, so methanol prices will go up. A terrific company. A cash flow machine.
DON'T BUY
Would be a little sceptical on it right now. Thinks methanol prices are in the process of peaking. Generating great cash right now, but it's still driven by a single commodity.
BUY
Likes this sector. A cheap way to get into the resources sector. This applies to Agrium (AGU-T), Potash (POT-T), Nova Chemicals (NCX-T), or Methanex (MX-T).
