Experts that have talked about Methanex Corp

TOP PICK20.850Gordon Higgins, CA, MBA, CFALike to get the cash back to the unit holder. They have good growth and dividend to boot.2008-09-30
BUY27.110Ron MeiselsHas been sitting between $26 and $29. Based on the point and figure chart he believes that it has the potential of a major break on the upside. Use a $24 stop/loss.2008-08-15
TOP PICK27.960Gordon Higgins, CA, MBA, CFABuy back shares with their free cash flow. Over $350 million on the balance sheet. Opening a new plant in Egypt. World leader in methanol production. Methanol is used in DME, a fuel used in China similar to diesel.2008-08-08
Comment26.690Benj Gallander(Market Call Minute.) Too high a price for a contrarian play. It might be all right for other people.2008-07-04
DON'T BUY27.910Michael SprungBeing affected recently by the cost of feedstock, particularly natural gas. With his outlook over the next 2 years, it would be a little premature to go into the stock right now.2008-06-26
TOP PICK31.560Ron MeiselsOne of the strongest and highest potential stocks on the market now. Coming out of a huge base from 1995 to 2003. 2008-06-19
BUY26.400Brian Acker, CAEarnings estimates have been going crazy on this company. His model price is $31.63, a 20% positive differential. Volatile.2007-12-20
TOP PICK28.250Andrew Guy, CFAA commodity play. Very strong cash flow. Very shareholder friendly. The price of methanol has gone up 60% due to shortages and the demand remains strong.2007-11-02
HOLD21.500Bill CarriganWell below the 200 day moving average. If you own, hold in for a possible rally and then reduce your holdings.2007-08-20
BUY26.950Bill CarriganHad a peak in January, drop-down and is now in a flat period. Looks good. Don't let it get below the April low.2007-07-30
WEAK BUY27.600David BurrowsThe chemicals group is performing well. There was a pretty good pullback the early part of this year but the methanol space is getting a little bit better. Cyclical area.2007-06-22
SELL26.620Bill CarriganDraw lines across the 5 year lows, and across the 5 year highs. These lines tell you when to buy or sell. At this point it's time to sell.2007-06-13
SELL28.530Derek Webb, CFAExpected earnings are down, even though they've had good earnings. (bad last quarter though).2007-05-03
HOLD25.900Robert FloydContracted price for methanol has dropped which has created a pullback in the stock price.2007-04-19
DON'T BUY26.110Robert FloydWould be a little careful of this one at this time. The methanol market is looking a little bit weaker.2007-03-29
PAST TOP PICK26.400Ron Meisels(A Top Pick Apr 24/06. Up 4.12%.) Still a Hold.2007-03-21
WEAK BUY33.300Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTABreaking out from its old high of last October. If it fell below that old high, this would be an indication that it is breaking down. Could be a buy but use a stop loss.2007-01-17
HOLD30.020Bill CarriganHas formed a base and is trying to break out, Be patient.2006-12-06
HOLD28.130David BaskinMethanol producer. Big drop in October when Argentina announced it was going to tax the export of natural gas to Chile. This company has a very large facility in Chile. Methanol prices are high, which may not be sustainable. Consider taking profits.2006-11-21
HOLD29.040Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTAFeels there is more room to run. It is in a space that has long-term growth opportunities. Technically, it has made new highs and as long as it holds the new highs in the next couple of weeks, it should be okay.2006-10-11
Comment27.800Neil WickhamA good hedge to natural gas prices. They are a huge consumer of gas, so if you believe gas will go up, this would be a short and vice versa.2006-10-03
HOLD25.380David BaskinHas been a great stock the last few years that corresponded to a boom in commodities. A single product company and if the price for methanol goes down, their profits go down. Right now, it's a cash flow machine, which is why they've been able to increase their dividend.2006-08-24
SELL21.330Fred PynnMethanol is an extremely cyclical commodity so this company’s earnings move up and down along with its stock price. Management/assets are great. He uses it as a trade selling when the stock gets high and buys when it gets beaten up.2006-07-26
TOP PICK25.360Ron MeiselsHas just broken into a multiyear high. Has not been at this point since the late 90’s which means there is major demand for the stock.2006-04-24
VAGUE23.950Ross HealyMethanex's fair market value is worth double for what the stock is trading at. There is a lot of nervousness about companies like Methanex. It should go, it has a nice balance sheet. Looks interesting but is having problems getting going.2006-03-16
BUY24.570Gavin GrahamThe price of methanol has been going out and they are also looking at bringing back their New Zealand production so the price has been going up. This is a cyclical commodity play. If the economy remains strong, the stock should do okay.2006-01-31
BUY21.460Ron MeiselsHad a fundamental problem in that they shut down an operation in South America and the stock fell as a result. Has now recovered. Support should be between $19.50 and $20.50; so on any weakness there would be an additional buying opportunity. Likes it as it is in the resource area.2005-12-15
BUY19.550David BaskinHas gotten to be a pretty complicated company. There's a lot of pieces. There's gas curtailment in Argentina, gasification in China, construction in Egypt. A lot of things to keep track of. That being said, it's a well managed company. Has a loot of cash. Has the potential to become an income trust because its cash flow is so robust. Demand for methanol continues to be steady.2005-11-24
HOLD19.510Brian Acker, CAHas a model price of $29. Would love to see it back at $15.25 which would be a slam dunk buy. Thinks it will easily go to $21. Earnings estimates have been coming down on this stock. If it goes to $21, sell it.2005-11-14
BUY17.110Pierre BernardNot expensive at 10 X earnings. Good dividend. A cyclical stock.2005-10-17
BUY17.110Ron MeiselsHad 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.2005-10-17
DON'T BUY16.740Michael SprungMethanol 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.2005-10-11
DON'T BUY17.140Peter GibsonNot 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.2005-09-20
TOP PICK17.090David BaskinMethanol 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.2005-09-19
BUY17.950Ron MeiselsHad 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.2005-08-31
DON'T BUY17.710David BurrowsShare price is peforming very poorly in quite a strong market. There are concerns on the price of MBTE.2005-08-25
DON'T BUY18.660Bill Harris, CFAA 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.2005-08-10
DON'T BUY18.570Bill CarriganThe 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.2005-08-09
BUY19.100Gavin GrahamA good play on resources. Relatively cheap.2005-08-08
TOP PICK20.650David BaskinLooks 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.2005-07-11
PAST TOP PICK20.790Ron Meisels(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.2005-07-07
SELL20.100John ZechnerHave had trouble with their feed stock recently. Prices are at an unsustainably high level.2005-07-04
BUY19.830David BaskinHad 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.2005-06-23
DON'T BUY22.250John ZechnerWould 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.2005-05-05
BUY22.490Gavin GrahamLikes 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).2005-04-26
HOLD22.150David BaskinSold about 1/4 of his position when it hit $24.50 because he thought that was a pretty rich price. This stock will always reflect natural gas prices and we're going into a soft period. Long term, it's a great stock to hold. Solid balance sheet, cash flow machine, will probably raise their dividend.2005-04-21
TOP PICK23.030Ron MeiselsAll 3 Top Picks are in a major uptrend and all have significantly higher targets and nobody follows them. Has a wonderful rising 200 day moving average. Has a 10 year inverse head and shoulder and when you get that's a basement that could take this stock to $50/60.2005-04-11
BUY on WEAKNESS23.030David BaskinSold about 1/4 of their holdings because they thought it was time to take some profit. Very cheap on a P/E basis. A cash flow machine. A single commodity company, methanol, which tends to follow natural gas very closely. Methanol demand has been very tight and prices very high. If you can buy at $20, it's a great buy.2005-04-11
WATCH24.140David BaskinLong term thinks it's pretty good, but it is driven by methane which is going up and down with the price of natural gas. Has had a tremendous run. If you own, you might consider taking some profits.2005-03-29
BUY23.850Brian Acker, CAHe has a model price of $37. Doesn't think you'll get much valuation pick-up, but just a growth in book value. Likes the slow steady line progression only because what you are getting is a multiple of book. Earnings are big and they are going on their balance sheet.2005-03-22
TOP PICK22.350Ron MeiselsA chemical stock which has not yet reached it's full potential.2005-03-17
HOLD20.600David Taylor, MBA, CFAAn interesting company. Didn't play this one because they had been a little bit concerned with the supply of natural gas. A cash flow machine. Attractive. Big fan of the chemicals and owns Nova Chemicals (NCX-T) and Lyondell (LYO-N). Prefers Lyondell Over Methanex.2005-02-02
WATCH20.200Ron MeiselsComing back down to test its 200 day moving average. When a stock starts to correct, it may take a few days for its correction. Close to a buying opportunity. If you own and are a long term investor, HOLD.2005-02-01
BUY21.400David BurrowsA steady performer over the last several months. Chemical sector has been a strong performer. Have seen some weakness in some of the weaker chemical companies in the last 2 weeks which gives some pause for the sector in general. This compamy looks good, but cyclicals can pull back pretty quickly.2005-01-12
TOP PICK21.350Robert LyonA cash machine. Generates huge amounts of cash flow. Currently pays out 1.8% dividend which he expects will double over the next 12/18 months. Have low cost access to gas. Should be a trust and not sure why it isn't.2005-01-11
BUY21.200Robert FloydShould have some higher highs. It will track the higher energy prices.2004-12-17
DON'T BUY21.450David BaskinLooking a little pricey. The problem they face is that there will be more global supply coming on in 2006. It's possible methane prices will start to fall in 2005. Take some profit now.2004-12-16
DON'T BUY19.750John ZechnerA well run company and dominant in their field. Feels the price of methanol is peaking. Doesn't see substantial performance by them. Also has a currency problem.2004-12-08
BUY20.880Rob CallanderIn a strong upward trend. A relatively unique company in its industry. Probably somewhat overlooked.2004-11-30
BUY19.210Brian Acker, CAHas a high model price on this, which is usually the case in a cyclical.2004-10-26
TOP PICK19.000Ron MeiselsWent through a huge base from '98 to '01. Breakout started at about $15 in Jan/04. This suggests very excellent upside potential.2004-10-20
BUY17.040Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTAGood 200 day average support. Should see a move back to the $18.50/19 area in the next couple of weeks. $16 would be a sign of technical weakness.2004-09-20
BUY17.300Ross HealyBalance sheet looks good. Fair Market Value ($30?) is much higher than its price.2004-09-17
BUY17.250David BaskinAn under appreciated stock. Expects a special dividend or share buyback in the near future.2004-09-09
HOLD17.720Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng.Methanol has been high and expects it to continue to be so. Doesn't expect a big burst.2004-08-25
STRONG BUY17.750Ron MeiselsHas unbeliveable potential.2004-08-24
VAGUE17.070Michael SprungCompetition is increasing. Pricing environment has been good for methanol so the stock price has held up.2004-08-17
BUY16.400David BaskinCame out with earnings that were considered a little soft and are having problems commissioning with one plant so the stock got hammered about 10%. A good price. Buying more.2004-07-29
BUY16.200Gordon Higgins, CA, MBA, CFAThrowing off a tremendous amount of free cash flow. They have a history of doing share buyback, special dividend or giving cash back. Cyclical. Stock as of near-term because of delays in opening their Trinidad plant.2004-07-23
TOP PICK17.950Ron MeiselsHas gone through a huge inverse head and shoulder. Long-term chart shows the stock could easily go to the high $20's.2004-07-14
BUY17.400David ChapmanChemical type companies seem to do well when the broader market can be weak. Could be in a little pullback testing which could be an opportunity to buy. Chart indicates it should go higher. Protect yourself with a stop/loss.2004-06-28
WEAK BUY18.050David Taylor, MBA, CFAAn enigma. Great company. Significant player in the world. Locked in because of gas prices creating higher operating costs. In spite of this, they should do very well.2004-06-22
BUY18.200David BaskinMaking a lot of money and will be able to pay off a large amount of debt. Because of the high price, will probably take some profits but will continue to hold. Still cheap at this price.2004-06-17
BUY18.230Pierre BernardShould do well in this market, Not a buy and hold stock.2004-06-16
BUY17.050Ian NakamotoGood company ,a leader. Could hit 20.002004-06-14
DON'T BUY17.150Bill ShawSurpassed target price. Significant risk. Some price risks.2004-06-11
DON'T BUY17.000John ZechnerThinks they methanol cycle has peaked. Starting to slowly come back down. Well-run company and lowest cost producer in the world. Can't see much upside.2004-06-10
BUY on WEAKNESS16.750David DriscollThis company will grow at the rate of GDP plus 1%. Gaining more market share as companies in that sector disappear. Has had a big run, but could probably continue to do better down the road. A little pricey right now.2004-06-08
BUY on WEAKNESS16.750Brian Acker, CADoesn't expect you will get a valuation increase, but you will get the benefit of a multiple of the earnings. Would buy at $15.70.2004-06-03
BUY16.250Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTAStarting to see significant momentum and it is starting to break out.2004-05-31
PAST TOP PICK16.030David Baskin(A top pick Apr 13/04. Up 4.5%.) Still likes. Just announced a share buyback. Flush with cash.2004-05-14
WAIT15.210Matt BaillieMethanol prices are very high. Competition may be coming from China and the middle east.2004-05-03
BUY14.940Gavin GrahamMethanol is economically sensitive. A 2% dividend yield. Should do well in good economic times.2004-04-27
TOP PICK14.940David BaskinThe dominant producer of methanol in the world. This is now in a tight demand/supply situation and probably will be for another 2 years. A cash flow machine. Paying down debt. Could be an extra dividend or stock buyback.2004-04-27
BUY15.100Peter Arender, CFATrading at a pretty good discount from what it's worth. Has some regulatory issues. Fairly volatile.2004-04-21
TOP PICK15.150David BaskinBiggest producer of methanol in the world. Methanol prices tend to follow gas. Expect demand for methanol to pick up. Tremendous amount of free cash flow. Paying down its debt.2004-04-13
BUY15.100Norman LevineTied into the fertilizer market and, seasonally, this is a good time. Would prefer a more pure play but this should benefit as well.2004-04-07
BUY14.400David BaskinStock is driven by natural gas prices, but also by underlying needs of the chemical industry. With a world recovery in industrial products coming, the demand for methanol will increase.2004-03-24
PAST TOP PICK15.630David Baskin(A top pick Dec 9/03. Up 8%.) Tends to trade pretty much in line with natural gas prices. Still likes.2004-03-01
BUY14.950Gavin GrahamFeels that they chemical/fertilizer industry has been left behind but, there is a shortage of commodities like fertilizer and methanol. Finances look pretty decent.2004-02-24
BUY15.050Pierre BernardA highly cyclical company showing a lot of cash flow. There could be a special dividend. A good price.2004-01-13
BUY14.530Ray SteeleShould benefit as the economy picks up.2003-12-31
BUY14.490Brian Acker, CAThere is a question if the 5% dividend yield can be maintained.2003-12-17
TOP PICK14.140David BaskinNatural gas prices are up and that drives methanol prices up. As a lot of cash. It will increase its dividend and pay down its debt.2003-12-09
BUY on WEAKNESS12.920Fred PynnShare price is quite volatile. Would buy on a down-spike. Good news is that they have additional production coming on stream in the Caribbean in 2004 and in Chile in 2005. Very profitable and solid management.2003-11-27
BUY13.270Brendan KyneExpects natural gas prices will stay low giving them good margins. Earnings should improve over the next couple of months.2003-11-19
BUY13.340David Taylor, MBA, CFAGenerates a lot of cash flow. What drives this stock is the spread between methanol and natural gas prices. Expects gas prices to go lower, so there should be a margin pickup in this stock.2003-11-17
BUY13.520Robert LyonProduction of methanol in North America has been shutting down. Doesn't look bad at current valuations. A leader in its global product.2003-11-10
BUY on WEAKNESS12.960Mark Jackson, CFAWould buy at a lower price. The main risk is the price of natural gas. Longer term, the fundamentals look fairly good. Demand is continuing to grow.2003-11-04
BUY13.190David BaskinDisappointed in the performance. Generates cash flow like crazy. Expects a special dividend or another acquisition. Methanol rises and falls with gas prices, so expect an increase in the winter. Trades at a very low multiple.2003-10-28
