Value (97): The shares cost little relative to the profits and assets behind them — which can mean the market is too gloomy, or that the business really is in trouble.

Issuance (43): The company has been issuing shares or taking on financing, diluting existing holders.

Size (10): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

Latest LYB news & analysis

LyondellBasell: The Market Ignores A Massive Earnings Recovery

Seeking Alpha · 2 Sept 2026positive

LyondellBasell reported Q2 results that far exceeded expectations, driven by favorable market conditions and operational leverage, with O&P Americas boosting adjusted EBITDA to $1.27B.

The article notes that LYB's EBITDA margins rose from 9% to 23% due to cost optimization and Middle East supply disruptions, with further upside expected as its Bayport facility resumes operations.
