BMO Capital Markets on Monday reiterated its outperform rating on the shares of Methanex (MX.TO, MEOH) and its US$65.00 price target following the company's fourth-quarter results.

"Reiterate Outperform rating on a Q4 release not as positive as many hoped for, despite obvious upside potential from current Middle East tensions. This being said, risk/reward skews to the upside, and we stay constructive. Our target price remains US$65, supported by ~$8/sh FCF this year which we think rises to ~$9/sh next year on a ~$350/t mid-cycle methanol deck (assuming prices move higher than this in Q2E). Our target is ~7.5-8x 2026E EV/EBITDA, but this looks better on 2027E if costs lower. And if methanol prices surge, look out," analyst Joel Jackson wrote.
