Westlake Corporation’s board declared a regular third-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.533 per share. It is payable December 10, 2026, to stockholders of record on November 24, 2026.
Why it matters — WLK watchers may note the dividend amount and the dates for payment and eligibility.
Westlake reported higher third-quarter earnings and free cash flow year over year, with cost reductions and higher chemical selling prices offsetting weaker housing demand. Earnings nevertheless fell sharply from the second quarter as chemical prices retreated and costs rose.

Westlake Corporation held its Q3 2026 earnings call on November 4, 2026. The excerpt lists company executives and analysts participating but provides no financial results or discussion.
Why it matters — The transcript is a source for WLK’s quarterly call, but this excerpt alone does not report performance details.
The Zacks item says Westlake’s Q3 2026 top- and bottom-line results provide a view of performance for the quarter ended September 2026, and focuses on comparing key metrics with Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
Why it matters — These comparisons offer WLK watchers context on the quarter beyond the headline earnings and revenue figures.
Westlake reported Q3 earnings of $0.45 per share, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.60. The company reported a loss of $0.29 per share in the year-ago quarter.

The 17 Wall Street analysts covering Westlake Corp. have a median 12-month price target of $76, with estimates ranging from $65 to $105. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.

As at 13 Nov 2026, Westlake Corp. ranks 24 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Growth (84 of 100).

Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
