Despite the quarterly miss, revenue climbed 2.1% compared to the year-ago quarter’s $949.0 million.

Analyst sentiment holds. The analyst community maintains a constructive stance with 7 of 9 analysts rating the stock Buy or Strong Buy, unchanged from the prior month. The $4.0 billion market cap company now trades at $51.75 per share following today’s decline. Methanex’s swing from profitability to loss marks a sharp reversal from the prior three quarters, which saw EPS of $1.30, $0.97, and $0.06 respectively.
