Conclusion
The previous range forecast from above turned out wrong, and I remain neutral with a higher range: I give about 55 percent probability that no closing price below 7,260 rial will be recorded until 15 Mehr, because methanol and the remittance dollar have filled below earnings. Risk: today's queue is small and the valuation is near three times the group, and with a 15 percent float, one session of supply is enough to break this level.
The evidence
- Closing price on 6 Mehr 1405: 7,660 rial (2.96 percent growth) at the ceiling of the range, above the 7,440 rial resistance; the 4 Mehr card range broke from above, though the lower invalidation level of 6,950 rial remained untouched.
- The buy queue is small: about 615 thousand shares from 15 buyers, worth approximately 4.7 billion rial (13:25); the day's volume is about 40 million shares, close to the monthly average of 44 million.
- Buyer-to-seller strength is 1.45, but retail investors net sold about 4.9 million shares and the buying was from the institutional side; the triple confirmation is not in place.
- Price-to-earnings ratio of 26.97 versus 9.55 for the chemical products group (6 Mehr), nearly three times.
- Earnings anchor: China methanol at 3,513 yuan per ton on 2 Mehr, 18.7 percent higher than a month earlier (TradingEconomics); export revenue is converted using the remittance dollar, which reached 1,717,400 rial on 5 Mehr.
If it holds
If the closing price stays above 7,440 rial (5 Mehr closing), the base scenario is consolidation above the previous ceiling until the Shahrivar activity report is published.
If it breaks
If the closing price closes below 7,260 rial (4 Mehr closing), this view is invalidated and today's breakout with a small queue has been retracted.
What to watch
What to watch: the China methanol rate, the Shahrivar activity report and the implicit sales rate, and the approach of the winter gas restriction season.
