Methanex shares came under pressure after JPMorgan cut its rating to Neutral, arguing the stock now looks fairly valued even though management expects stronger EBITDA in the second quarter. The more cautious stance has weighed on sentiment, adding to the recent slide in the share price.
Despite the downgrade, the board approved a quarterly dividend of US$0.185 per share and outlined plans for faster debt repayment and selective share buybacks. Management still highlights upside from ammonia and OCI synergies, while warning that supply issues, gas markets and rising costs remain key risks for investors to watch.
