LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) reported a solid Q1 and expects a significant improvement in Q2, supported by rising polyethylene and polypropylene prices, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Sunday.Analysts said prices are up about 30 cents per pound for polyethylene and about 20 cents per pound for polypropylene in Q2, with potential for further increases is the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Management also pointed to potential stronger earnings in its olefins and polyolefins business in Europe, Asia, and international markets, along with lower maintenance costs, according to the note."LyondellBasell is yet to see signs of demand destruction in the US/Europe and given depressed durables consumption, LyondellBasell thinks it is unlikely, especially given global polyethylene pricing remains well below the 2021 peak," the analysts said.For Q2, analysts said they expect about $700 million to $800 million quarter-over-quarter boost from about 30 cents per pound higher polyethylene prices, a $200-300 million increase from 10 cents per pound higher polypropylene prices, and about $85 million from lower downtime.Overall, RBC now projects full-year 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization at nearly $5.5 billion, up from $3.85 billion previously, and Q2 EBITDA is expected to be around $1.5 billion, up from $1.09 billion previously, while Q3 earnings could exceed $2 billion. The outlook assumes the Strait of Hormuz disruption continues through May, followed by one to three months of normalization considering shipping delays and supply chain issues.RBC raised its price target on LyondellBasell Industries to $94 from $91, and kept its outperform rating.Shares of LyondellBasell were up more than 2% in Monday trading.Price: $76.76, Change: $+1.77, Percent Change: +2.35%

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our price target by $23 to $52 using a forward P/E of 10.0x our 2027 EPS view of $5.22 (up by $1.85), a modest discount to LYB's five-year average of 10.8x given a weaker EBIT compared to historical levels. We raise our 2026 EPS to $7.21 from $2.44. We believe LYB's stock presents unfavorable risk-reward after its 69% surge in 2026 year-to-date. The Middle East conflict has created a temporary windfall for LYB by disrupting 20% of global petrochemical capacity, which tightened markets and enabled substantial price increases for polyethylene and polypropylene. LYB has capitalized on this environment through its cost-advantaged U.S. ethane-based assets and increased European production to fill supply gaps. However, we expect these tailwinds to prove unsustainable. Additionally, if the conflict persists beyond the near term, the resulting demand destruction from higher oil prices and broader cost inflation across the value chain will likely overwhelm any benefits from tighter supply-demand dynamics.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB) reported Q1 operating EPS of $0.49 vs. $0.33 in the prior-year period, beating consensus by $0.21 after missing estimates in four of the prior six quarters. Revenue of $7.2B missed consensus by 2% and declined 6% Y/Y. The company completed a strategic milestone with the sale of four European assets, advancing its portfolio transformation initiative expected to improve margins and reduce costs while positioning LYB with increased resilience. Management provided positive Q2 guidance, planning to maximize North American O&P operating rates, raise European O&P rates to 80%, and maintain I&D rates at 75%. However, operating cash flow deteriorated significantly to negative $269M in Q1 despite the earnings recovery, attributable to a working capital build and serving increased global demand. We believe the sustainability of expected improvements remains uncertain given persistent structural overcapacity and ongoing geopolitical volatility.
