LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) Stock Forecast & Price Target
LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LyondellBasell Industries exhibits a strong potential for growth, with forward EBITDA estimates pushing towards approximately $4.5 billion, contingent on improvements in the global economic landscape, particularly in post-COVID China and Europe. The company has reported quarter-over-quarter enhancements in pricing and margins within its Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P) segment in North America, alongside an uptick in export demand. Additionally, the presence of a tight supply and demand balance, combined with moderate feedstock costs, positions LyondellBasell favorably for maintaining stable pricing and potentially higher operating rates in the industry.
Bears say
LyondellBasell Industries is experiencing a significant decline in its operational performance, with a 53% drop in North American Olefins and Polyolefins (O&P-NA) primarily attributed to reduced ethylene margins and downtime impacts. Additionally, there is ongoing weakness in the industrial and downstream segments, marked by stable but oversupplied oxyfuels and decreasing margins in styrene, further compounding the negative outlook. Overall, the company is expected to face lower earnings compared to typical seasonal expectations amid these challenging market conditions.
