The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, May 1, edition that RBC Capital Markets analyst Nelson Ng has reaffirmed his "sector perform" recommendation for Methanex. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Ng gave his share target a $5 boost to $70 (all figures U.S.). Analysts on average target the shares at $68. Mr. Ng says in a note: "Methanex is poised to realize a very strong Q2/26 as elevated methanol prices hit the bottom line. Based on the company s May 2026 non-discounted methanol price, we estimate that the company would generate roughly $1.70/ share of FCF/month ($1.6-billion annualized), which would mainly be allocated to debt reduction, and potentially some share buybacks. However, the main uncertainty is when the Iran conflict will be resolved, and the time it takes for methanol prices to normalize. We increased our share target to mainly reflect higher methanol prices through 2026." The Globe reported on Jan. 6 and Feb. 3 that Mr. Ng continued to rate Methanex "outperform." The shares could then be had for $59.11 and $49.31. The Globe reported on March 3 that Mr. Ng had downgraded Methanex to "sector perform." The shares were then going for $51.17.
