Surprisingly, methanol price has gone up a lot (close to 20% in past 3 months), contrary to expectations. Methanol is input chemical for Jiutian. Its output is DMF, whose price has come off from the peak (but still +20% in past 3 months). That's likely why Jiutian share price has trended down .
Lots to like about Jiutian, especially the huge profit surge that will be reported for 2Q.
Key raw material is methanol -- pretty mild price increase.
Key product is DMF --- large selling price rise.
KGI 's target price is 14 cents. Currently trading price is 8.4 cents. OK, it is tremendous upside potential.
