Headquartered in Delftseplein 27e, Rotterdam Fiscal year ends December NYSE: LYB lyondellbasell.com
LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE: LYB) is a global chemical company that develops, manufactures and markets products used in transportation, infrastructure, food safety, clean water and healthcare. It holds positions in polyolefins, oxyfuels, propylene oxide and acetyls, and operates through five segments:
- **Olefins & Polyolefins – Americas:** ethylene and co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene, largely from ethane and other natural gas liquids.
- **Olefins & Polyolefins – Europe, Asia, International:** the same product families outside the Americas, a footprint reduced by the May 2026 divestiture of select European O&P assets.
- **Intermediates & Derivatives:** propylene oxide and derivatives, oxyfuels and related products, styrene monomer and acetyls.
- **Advanced Polymer Solutions:** polypropylene compounds, engineered plastics, masterbatches, engineered composites and colors.
- **Technology:** licenses chemical and polyolefin process technologies and sells polyolefin catalysts.
The company exited refining in 2025, after ceasing operations at its Houston refinery, and now reports that business as a discontinued operation. It is executing a Value Enhancement Program and a Cash Improvement Plan focused on reducing fixed costs and increasing cash flow. It is also building a Circular & Low Carbon Solutions business around recycled and renewable-based polymers. Updated
The Q2 petrochemical price spike is gone, and both lines missed expectations as O&P Americas EBITDA excluding identified items fell to $641 million sequentially. Doubled Intermediates and Derivatives profit on oxyfuels only partly filled the hole.
LyondellBasell reports at 6:30 AM ET with consensus at $2.59 a share on $8.93 billion in revenue, and the last two quarters both came in ahead, including a 21% beat in July. With a $21.1 billion market cap riding on petrochemical margins, the guidance on polyethylene demand matters more than the quarter itself.
