Shares of Methanex Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEOH#NASDAQ">MEOH</a>) have been on a downtrend since the company announced it had inked a definitive agreement to buy OCI Global&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40771196/methanex-merck-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-mondays-pre-market-session">international methanol business</a>.
Concerns around the transaction risks associated with the acquisition are unlikely to be "easily assuaged" in the near term, according to Barclays <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5ea2fca60cd8860001a1bad2/michael-leithead">analyst Mike Leithead</a>.
Leithead downgraded the rating for Methanex to Equal-Weight, while cutting the price target from $56 to $44.
The Methanex Thesis: The company has agreed to acquire OCI&#8217;s methanol business for $2.05 billion, Leithead said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
While there are "long-term strategic merits" from this deal, "investor concerns around the transaction risks are neither likely to be easily assuaged in the near term nor sufficiently discounted / de-risked in current equity valuation," the analyst wrote. The acquisition spells added leverage, which brings increased volatility, he added.
For many investors, the bull case for Methanex was based on "a step-change in earnings power / cash conversion as G3 ramps up in 2H&#8217;24 and the resumption of returning healthy amounts of cash to investors starting in 2025," Leithead wrote. 
"That no longer will be the case and this thesis pivot likely leads to some ownership rotation, which also presents an overhang on shares," he further stated.
MEOH Price Action: Shares of Methanex had declined by 5% to $37.14 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Methanex, Merck And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Methanex shares are trading lower after the company reported that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OCI Global's international methanol business for $2.05 billion.

Methanex Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEOH#NASDAQ">MEOH</a>) disclosed that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OCI Global&#8216;s international methanol <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40765411/methanex-corporation-signs-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-oci-globals-international-methanol-busi" rel="noreferrer noopener">business for $2.05 billion</a>.
The deal encompasses OCI&#8217;s stakes in two major methanol facilities in Beaumont, Texas, one of which also produces ammonia, along with a low-carbon methanol production and marketing business and an idled methanol facility in the Netherlands.
Rich Sumner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Methanex, said, &#8220;This is a unique opportunity to create value by acquiring two highly attractive North American methanol assets that will further strengthen our global production base and we expect it will be immediately accretive to free cash flow per share.&#8221;
&#8220;The Beaumont plants benefit from access to North America&#8217;s abundant and favourably-priced supply of natural gas feedstock, and are expected to increase our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">global methanol production by over 20 percent</a>.&#8221;
Through the OCI acquisition, Methanex expects to gain $30 million in annual cost synergies from reduced logistics and administrative expenses.
With minimal integration costs due to similar operating models, Methanex plans to enhance value by applying its global expertise and incorporating OCI assets into its operational and risk management processes.
OCI&#8217;s ammonia production, though smaller than its methanol output, offers Methanex a low-risk entry into a complementary commodity.
The transaction, which has been approved by both companies&#8217; boards, is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
It remains subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, including TSX approval for the issuance of Methanex shares to OCI.
After the transaction, Methanex will have approximately 77 million shares outstanding, with OCI owning about 13%.
Methanex plans to fund the cash portion through a mix of cash on hand and new debt, supported by a fully committed financing package from the Royal Bank of Canada.
Dean Richardson, Senior Vice President, Finance &amp; Chief Financial Officer of Methanex, commented, &#8220;We expect the acquisition to add incremental annual Adjusted EBITDA of $275 million to our expected run-rate Adjusted EBITDA of $850 million at a $350/MT realized methanol price.&#8221;
&#8220;We remain firmly committed to maintaining financial flexibility and have in place a robust financing plan that will support de-levering to our target range of 2.5 to 3.0 times debt/Adjusted EBITDA within approximately 18 months from closing, assuming an average realized price of $350/MT. The plan includes the repayment of our $300 million bond as scheduled in December 2024.&#8221;
As of June-end, the company maintained a strong liquidity position <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g40052912/geismar-3-g3-produces-first-methanol-and-methanex-reports-higher-second-quarter-2024-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a cash balance of $426 million</a>.

The company has entered into short-term commercial arrangements to provide its contracted natural gas into the New Zealand electricity market.
These commercial arrangements are expected to positively impact Methanex&#39;s&nbsp;Q3&nbsp;and&nbsp;Q4&nbsp;2024 earnings with after-tax proceeds expected to meaningfully exceed the margin lost on New Zealand methanol production delivered to customers.&nbsp;
Rich Sumner, President and CEO, commented, &quot;New Zealand&#39;s energy balances are currently very strained due to seasonally high demand combined with low hydro levels and relatively lower gas supply in 2024 compared with previous years. We have been working closely with energy providers, other gas users and the government of New Zealand on how we can be part of the solution.
