Should You Buy LyondellBasell For Its 11% Yield?
Published: September 30, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
LyondellBasell (LYB) offers an 11% dividend yield, but weak financials make this a likely yield trap for income investors. LYB's dividend is not covered by earnings or cash flow, with cash burn and rising leverage raising sustainability concerns. Management is likely to cut the dividend significantly within a year if industry conditions do not improve, prioritizing balance sheet health.

Why I've Changed My Mind On LyondellBasell's Dividend
Published: September 17, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
LyondellBasell faces significant industry headwinds, with declining revenues, margins, and cash flow, but retains a cost advantage from U.S.-based production. LYB's dividend yield is exceptionally high at 9.82%, but current payout exceeds cash flow, raising concerns about sustainability amid rising debt and new credit restrictions. Despite the risk of a dividend cut, LYB remains better positioned than peers to rebound, especially if it reallocates capital to strengthen its balance sheet and margins.

LyondellBasell Dividend: Reckless Decision Or Smart Capital Allocation?
Published: August 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

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.
