Methanex Corp (MX-T) has garnered mixed opinions among experts regarding its current standing and future potential. One expert reported a successful trading experience, having bought shares around $50 and selling near $75, while noting a cautious approach towards new investments at the present time. Another review highlighted the strength in the company's RSI amidst positive trends in fertilizers and chemicals due to geopolitical tensions, suggesting continued momentum with an optimistic price target of $89.31. A third expert pointed to a recent recovery from lower levels, indicating potential for further upside if it breaks through old resistance. However, some caution is advised as fundamentals are showing a 32% year-over-year decrease in EPS, combined with expected revenue declines. Despite these challenges, the stock is noted for its decent dividend yield and potential for a turnaround with the upcoming earnings report on July 30, which may indicate an upside surprise.

BUY
It's had a strong sell-off, so now you can buy it.
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.
