Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Indicate?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter total sales is currently pegged at $1,036 million, which reflects a 78.3% rise from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Some Factors to Watch Out For
Methanex is expected to have benefited from healthy demand for methanol on the back of the ongoing economic recovery. The company expects demand to surpass pre-pandemic level later this year.
It is also likely to have benefited from an improvement in methanol pricing. Strong methanol demand and ongoing industry supply challenges are expected to have driven methanol prices. Strong demand coupled with higher prices are likely to have boosted the top line in the quarter to be reported.
