What are Wall Street analysts saying about LyondellBasell Industries stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about LyondellBasell Industries stock:
- 1. med analysts commented, "We expect the bulk of this EBITDA to return in 2018, highlighting the conservative nature of consensus expectations. Layering on the reversal of lost EBITDA of USD560m to 2017 EBITDA of USD7,134m, while factoring in the guided-to 2018 impact of planned turnarounds of USD100m, suggests 2018 EBITDA of USD7,594m, versus current consensus of USD6,883m. To further highlight the pessimism associated with the consensus estimates, annualizing seasonally weak Q1’18 EBITDA and EPS gets us to USD7,652m and USD12.44, respectively, versus current consensus 2018 expectations of USD6,883m and USD10.83." (5/7/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "LyondellBasell saw its profits jump year over year in first-quarter 2018. Earnings for the quarter topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Sales rose by double-digits year over year and surpassed expectations. The company expects to benefit from high operating rates in the second quarter. LyondellBasell has outperformed the industry it belongs to over a year. LyondellBasell's HDPE project should boost capacity and add to its earnings. The proposed buyout of A. Schulman will also create significant cost synergies. LyondellBasell also remains committed to deliver greater value to its shareholders leveraging healthy cash flows. However, LyondellBasell’s operations remain subject to maintenance outages which is affecting its results. The company is also exposed to raw material cost inflation. Its U.S. olefin margins also remain under pressure." (5/1/2018)
