Executive Summary

LyondellBasell Industries is the world’s largest producer of polypropylene and polyethylene — the two highest-volume polyolefin plastics used in consumer packaging, automotive interiors, construction, and durable goods. The company operates 55 manufacturing facilities globally with particular concentration in U.S. Gulf Coast (low-cost ethane feedstock) and Europe. The stock at $71.53 trades at 6.32x forward earnings — the cheapest forward multiple in U.S. chemicals — and offers a 3.86 percent dividend yield. TTM GAAP loss of -$802M reflects the petrochemical-spread compression that has affected the broader commodity chemicals sector. We at T&T Capital Management view LYB as a cyclical deep-value setup. Our base-case fair value is $85–$105.
