LyondellBasell (ISIN NL0009434992) was trading at EUR 57.52 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 2:59 p.m. CEST. The latest analyst signal came from Bank of America on October 19, 2026, which maintained a Sell rating and a USD 61.00 price target, as reported by Business Insider.

Second-quarter earnings set the base

LyondellBasell reported second-quarter 2026 net income of USD 559 million, or USD 1.71 in diluted earnings per share. Identified items reduced quarterly earnings by USD 2.59 per diluted share, including costs linked to the sale of selected European assets, according to the company's LyondellBasell investor information.

Second-quarter revenue rose 19.8 percent year over year to USD 9.18 billion. The company also reported second-quarter EBITDA of USD 1.3 billion, while EBITDA excluding identified items reached USD 2.1 billion, giving investors a clearer view of operating performance after the asset-related charges.

Three target changes shaped the view

On September 25, 2026, UBS cut its target from USD 64.00 to USD 62.00 and assigned a Neutral rating, as summarized by Business Insider. On October 13, 2026, Royal Bank of Canada cut its target from USD 72.00 to USD 68.00 while retaining an Outperform rating, according to MarketBeat. Bank of America's USD 61.00 target on October 19, 2026 therefore added a more cautious reference point.

What does the USD 61 target mean?

The target places the emphasis on valuation discipline rather than a fresh operating catalyst. LyondellBasell's second-quarter revenue growth of 19.8 percent and adjusted EBITDA of USD 2.1 billion excluding identified items provide the operating figures that investors will test against the next report.

October 30 brings the next test

LyondellBasell will announce third-quarter 2026 results before the U.S. market opens on October 30, 2026, followed by a webcast and conference call at 11:00 a.m. EDT, the company said in its release. That date gives the market a defined checkpoint for margins, earnings and the effect of the portfolio actions.

Stock price ahead of results

The euro quotation puts the next earnings release at the center of the short-term setup, while the USD 61.00 target shows that analyst views remain cautious. The stock was trading at EUR 57.52 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 2:59 p.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of LyondellBasell stock.
