Research notes
Methanex’s bull case is stronger methanol pricing, record Geismar production, OCI integration synergies, and rapid deleveraging; analysts also see improving earnings estimates and valuation support at roughly 10x forward earnings. The bear case is that the stock’s roughly 59–61% 2026 rally already discounts much of the methanol-price surge, while weak Chinese methanol-to-olefins demand and a potential normalization of Middle East exports could pressure prices. A major recent catalyst is the Middle East supply disruption, which lifted realized-price expectations and prompted Raymond James to raise its target to $72, although it retained a Market Perform rating. Methanex was also scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results after the October 29 close, making the earnings release the immediate catalyst.
