LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LyondellBasell Industries is positioned for a positive financial outlook, driven by potential improvements in global macroeconomic conditions, particularly in post-COVID China and Europe, which could lead to a forward EBITDA of approximately $4.5 billion. The company is experiencing quarter-over-quarter improvements in its Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) segment in North America, characterized by enhanced pricing and margins, along with increased export demand. Additionally, expectations for stable pricing coupled with higher industry operating rates suggest a robust operational environment that could further support financial growth.
Bears say
LyondellBasell Industries is experiencing a significant decline in operational performance, highlighted by a 53% drop in its North American Olefins and Polymers segment, primarily due to lower ethylene margins and operational downtime. The company's Integrated and Derivatives segment is also facing quarterly weakness, with stable margins in oversupplied oxyfuels and declining performance in styrene contributing to an overall downturn. Furthermore, the company's earnings outlook for the third quarter indicates a trend lower than typical seasonal levels, suggesting persistent challenges in its financial health.
