LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LyondellBasell Industries is positioned for strong financial performance, with potential forward EBITDA projected to reach approximately $4.5 billion, contingent upon global macroeconomic improvements and favorable operating conditions in both China and Europe. The company's ongoing Q/Q improvements in pricing and margins within its O&P-NA segment, alongside enhanced export demand, underscore its competitive edge in the petrochemical market. Additionally, gains from higher industry operating rates indicate effective production efficiency, further enhancing the positive outlook for the company's financial trajectory.
Bears say
LyondellBasell Industries faces a negative outlook due to significant quarter-over-quarter weakness in the Intermediates & Derivatives (I&D) segment, attributed to stable margins in oversupplied oxyfuels and declining margins in styrene. The Olefins & Plastics-North America (O&P-NA) segment also experienced a substantial decline of 53%, primarily driven by lower ethylene margins and operational downtime. Additionally, a forecast for the third quarter indicates that earnings are trending lower than typical seasonal levels, reflecting broader challenges across the business.
