# MEOH doubled on a methanol war premium - $72 confirms the breakout, $63 breaks it | AInvest

> Methanex shares rose 14% to $71.57 after the company reported third-quarter EPS of $3.69, well above the $2.84 expected, on $1.36 billion in sales. The company realized $510 per tonne on methanol amid Middle East supply disruptions that have cut regional output to roughly 5-10% of normal levels.

## Why it matters

Methanol is a feedstock for fertilizer and chemicals, so the Middle East supply loss supports higher input costs, while the article notes a resolution of the conflict could reverse the premium. For feed buyers the direct grain or meal price link is weak, but the story reflects the broader energy and fertilizer squeeze.
