LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LyondellBasell Industries is well-positioned for a positive financial outlook, driven by the potential for improved macroeconomic conditions in post-COVID markets such as China and Europe, which could lead to a forward EBITDA of approximately $4.5 billion. Additionally, the company has experienced quarter-over-quarter improvements in its Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) North America pricing and margins, alongside increasing export demand, which may enhance profitability. With expectations of stable pricing coupled with gains from higher industry operating rates, LyondellBasell demonstrates strong fundamentals that contribute to an optimistic assessment of its financial future.
Bears say
LyondellBasell Industries is experiencing significant challenges, with a reported 53% decline in North American Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P-NA) attributed to lower ethylene margins and production downtime. The company's industrial and derivatives (I&D) segment also shows weakness due to oversupplied conditions in oxyfuels and reduced margins in styrene. Overall earnings trends for the third quarter indicate a decrease compared to typical seasonal levels, suggesting an ongoing downward trajectory in financial performance.
