Bulls say
LyondellBasell Industries is positioned for significant financial improvement, with forward EBITDA projections reaching approximately $4.5 billion if global macroeconomic conditions improve, particularly in post-COVID China and Europe. The company is experiencing quarter-over-quarter enhancements in its Olefins and Polymers-North America segment, driven by improved pricing and margins alongside increased export demand. Furthermore, a tight supply/demand balance combined with higher industry operating rates is expected to contribute positively to LyondellBasell's overall financial performance.
Bears say
LyondellBasell Industries is experiencing significant quarterly weakness in its Integrated & Derivatives (I&D) sector, attributed to oversupply in oxyfuels and declining margins in styrene, leading to overall reduced profitability. The Olefins & Polyolefins – North America (O&P-NA) segment reported a 53% decrease, primarily driven by lower ethylene margins and operational downtime. Furthermore, the company's third-quarter outlook indicates that earnings are trending below typical seasonal levels, suggesting systemic challenges facing its operations and market conditions.
