MEOH
Methanex Corporation
Methanex Corp shows pronounced positive price momentum across 1–12 month horizons with the stock trading near the upper end of its 52-week range and above key moving averages. At the same time, recent fundamental data indicate revenue contraction, negative earnings, and slightly negative free cash flow, while valuation multiples such as EV/EBITDA appear elevated relative to these fundamentals. Short interest remains modest in terms of shares outstanding, but a high short volume ratio and negative cash flow metrics highlight ongoing risk around the durability of the recent rally.

Why This Fund Made a $10.8 Million Bet on a Chemical Stock Up 87%

Hartree Partners acquired 214,859 shares of Methanex (MEOH) for approximately $10.8 million, betting on continued strength in the methanol market.
