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