    Methanex jumps 14% on 48% methanol price spike tied to Middle East disruptions

    Question

    Methanex jumps 14% on 48% methanol price spike tied to Middle East disruptions

    Direct answer

    Methanex recorded a 14% stock gain on October 30 after reporting third-quarter financial results driven by tight global chemical feedstock balances. Quarterly revenue expanded 50% to $1.39 billion, underpinned by a 48% increase in methanol contract pricing resulting from operational and logistics disruptions across Middle Eastern production facilities. The supply shock transformed profitability, lifting adjusted net income to $284 million, or $3.69 per share, compared to $5 million in the identical quarter of 2025. The outturn underlines how regional supply outages in energy-intensive chemical supply chains rapidly translate into commodity price inflation.
