LyondellBasell Q1 EPS Beats, Sales Miss Estimates

Watch: Monitor Q2 sales and EBITDA for signs of recovery or further pressure from supply shocks and demand softness.

LyondellBasell reported Q1 2026 EPS of $0.49, beating the $0.20 consensus and rising from $0.33 a year ago. Sales missed at $7.197 billion versus $7.323 billion expected, down from $7.677 billion last year. CEO Vanacker warned that Middle East supply shocks will have lasting impacts. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $615 million, with capex of $269 million and $224 million returned to shareholders in dividends.

The strong EPS beat amid declining sales and margin pressure signals operational resilience but confirms structural challenges and external supply disruptions are weighing on growth and profitability.
