LyondellBassell: Dividend Investors Proceed With Caution, High Probability Of A Dividend Cut
LyondellBasell faces significant cash flow deterioration and rising payout ratios, putting its high dividend at risk despite management's stated commitment. Recent earnings missed expectations, with EPS down over 70% year-over-year and sales sharply lower due to persistent industry headwinds and rising costs. Management is reducing CAPEX and share buybacks to preserve cash, but macro uncertainty and potential tariffs could force a dividend cut within 6-12 months.
LyondellBasell Dividend: Reckless Decision Or Smart Capital Allocation?
Capital allocation at LyondellBasell differs materially from that of its major peer. The current dividend yield is now above 10%, a signal the market doesn't believe that it can be sustained. Even given the challenges, I believe LYB should be able to sustain its dividend in 2025 and beyond.
