Braskem NYSE: BAK reported recurring EBITDA of $1.043 billion for the second quarter of 2026, supported by wider international petrochemical spreads following supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict. The company said the improvement was tactical rather than evidence of a structural recovery in the global petrochemical cycle, which it expects to remain pressured by overcapacity and moderate demand.
