The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)Methanex CorpMX.TOCOMMENTApr 27, 2023

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MX, the largest supplier of methanol to international markets, as a TOP PICK.  The company just released earnings, beating analyst expectations by 20%.  Production in the quarter was slowed due to extended turnaround times in several key regions, but this should be resolved shortly.  It trades at 13x earnings and 1.5x book value.  It has used some cash reserves to prudently retire debt and buy back shares.  We recommend maintaining a stop-loss at $51, looking to achieve $78 — upside potential over 30%.  Yield 1.0%

He took profits when it started to rally. A solid company though and will do well in the second half of 2023. Weak natural gas prices benefit Methanex by lowering their costs. China's recovery Will benefit commodity stocks like this, but it will take time.

TOP PICK

Methanex Corp(MX.TO)

Mar 21, 2023
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

As the largest supplier of methanol to international markets, we select MX as a TOP PICK.  The company just announced the first bio-methanol marine vessel voyage that opens the door to low-emission marine transport.  It trades at 9x earnings and 1.5x book value.  It has been some cash reserves to prudently retire debt and buy back shares.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $51, looking to achieve $78 — upside potential over 21%.  Yield 1.0%

COMMENT

Methanex Corp(MX.TO)

Mar 07, 2023

Likes it. He just took profits. Natural gas is driving shares, and nat gas prices are down now, so MX shares are up. It's a solid performer, but if a recession happens, say 6 months down the road, this will be a headwind.

In general the price of methanol tracks the price of oil and should go higher. Natural gas is the feeder stock into methanol. As prices ease this should be good for Methanex. Transportation costs are dropping so costs to ship methanol will drop and therefore costs for Methanex. Buy 6 Hold 5 Sell 2 (Analysts’ price target is $63.06)

Cyclical or core? Cyclical. He's been trimming. Depends on industrial production, which has peaked. From Q2 reporting onwards, methanex prices should get softer. Wild card is European peer operations are shut due to low price of nat gas, creating supply constraint. Buying back stock, increasing dividend.

(A Top Pick May 04/21, Up 47%) World leader, with a 14% market share. Uniquely advantaged, as a lot of the European rivals are facing astronomical natural gas prices. $7 EPS expected this year, and that's not the peak. Sees upside, despite good performance already.

Very whippy, counterintuitive. Tough to play. In favour right now, and tends to track oil prices. Global production issues. Buy it when no one wants it. But seriously, leave it for someone else.
