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

Methanex Corp (MX-T) is garnering mixed opinions from analysts. Some experts emphasize the strong performance of the stock, noting its resilience fueled by rising demand for fertilizers and chemicals related to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. This has created positive momentum, particularly as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a favorable position. However, there are concerns about a recent downturn, as some analysts note a lack of conviction in a solid upward trend. Despite the stock having a decent dividend yield, the overall EPS has decreased, and revenue forecasts are somewhat pessimistic. Nonetheless, there is a moderate buy rating with substantial upside potential if it can break through established resistance levels. The upcoming earnings report may provide further insights into its future trajectory.

SABIC
BUY
It may be bottoming out now, so entering this is good. He has owned this before. Good fundamentals.
PARTIAL SELL
He sold it. It's been in a downtrend since mid-2018. Unless that changes, take profits.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It's okay to hold a small 1-2% position of this. He doesn't understand why this stock is down. They've bought back a ton of stock. Investors didn't like it when they announced a new plant--why? In a few years, they will have a new plant that will increase production and revenues. It's had a big dip due to an earnings dip, but once the tide turns, this will do very well. He likes their global market share with facilities around the world.
DON'T BUY
It closely tracks oil prices, which means their chart recently has been brutal. Oil is a tough space now.
WAIT
Don't buy it here. Methanol prices have been declining, on decreasing demand and trade issues. Cyclical. Not a secular growth story. It's a cyclical growth story, so you have to buy it at the right time.
HOLD
Methanol is a key ingredient in a lot of products. It is also an additive to Chinese fuel so there are trade war concerns. It could get cheaper from here. The management team knows what they are doing. It is going to be a waiting game right now.
WEAK BUY
Likes it, but it has problems in Egypt. Good balance sheet, boosted dividend by 9%. Good long-term play, but whippy. Dividend safe as long as the economy's going well. Some upside, but not for the faint of heart.
DON'T BUY
It is economically sensitive and the global economy is slowing.
DON'T BUY
The whole chemical agricultural space is sensitive to commodity prices. So, he prefers companies that have more control over their inputs and outputs. MX does not fix. Rather, it's a trading stock to him. It's not a long-term hold, which is his investing style.
PARTIAL BUY
A cyclical. $90.23 is his model price if there isn't a recession. Nibble away now. Exit if it breaks below $60.
DON'T BUY
A producer of methanol. Slowing global economic growth is creating headwinds along with lower energy commodity prices.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 05/18, Down 19%) He would continue to hold it. It has gotten cheaper. Trades 7 times cash flow. ROE of 28%. The dividend is safe. A recent shareholder activist has been added to their Board. It is cheap. Yield 2.7%
SELL ON STRENGTH
$108.75 is his target price. It's a cyclical stock. Strong world growth will push this up, but if China slows down, this could even fall back to $61. Sell at $100.
BUY
Just started picking it up a week ago. Looks quite good. Nice sloped base. Wants it to get through $80. Good downside protection around $76. Some indicators are starting to turn up. Risk/reward pretty good in this seasonally strong period. Would take profits around $90, so more of a trade than a long-term hold.
TOP PICK
A global leader. Their EBITDA should bottom in Q1. They started their Chilean plant on time and on budget. They're buying back 5% of its share. It's trading below its historic multiple. It's a play on Brent oil and global growth. A tailwind is Iranian curtailment. You can hold this for a long time. But it's a very cyclical name. (Analysts’ price target is $82.91)
