ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LyondellBasell (LYB) today announced that it has entered into an agreement and exclusive negotiations with AEQUITA for the sale of select olefins & polyolefins assets and the associated business in Europe. The sites to be sold have been part of the previously announced European strategic assessment and are located in Berre (France), Münchsmünster (Germany), Carrington (UK), and Tarragona (Spain).
LyondellBasell offers a nearly 10% dividend yield, with management maintaining payouts despite cyclical headwinds and weak earnings, signaling confidence in recovery. The company's strategic focus on cost savings, niche markets, and sustainable products positions it well for long-term growth once industry conditions improve. Strong cash flow, disciplined capital allocation, and a robust balance sheet provide resilience, supporting both the dividend and future recovery potential.
LyondellBasell (LYB) is a global chemical company, producing critical chemicals that power modern life. Recent weakness in end markets - along with higher-than-average input costs - have driven net income lower. That said, we think the dividend remains safe for the time being. If a few things 'go right', LYB could produce solid total returns as a cyclical value play.
