LyondellBasell stock (ISIN NL0009434992) closed at USD 64.57 on the NYSE on September 16, 2026, down 1.0 percent from the prior session. Q2 2026 EPS was USD 4.30 and revenue reached USD 9.18 billion.

Q2 figures still matter

According to MarketBeat, LyondellBasell Industries N.V. posted quarterly earnings on July 31, 2026, with USD 4.30 EPS, beating the consensus estimate of USD 3.44 by USD 0.86. The same page says quarterly revenue rose 19.8 percent year over year to USD 9.18 billion.

That combination is why the stock still trades with a clear earnings anchor. MarketBeat also lists Q2 2026 net margin at -1.13 percent and return on equity at 17.44 percent, showing how sharply profitability can move quarter to quarter in a cyclical chemicals business.

Price and positioning

On September 16, 2026, the shares traded between USD 64.00 and USD 65.10, with 1,154,355 shares changing hands versus an average volume above 6.1 million, according to ad hoc news and MarketBeat data. The 52-week range stood at USD 41.58 to USD 83.94, so the latest close sat in the lower half of that band.

MarketBeat puts the market capitalization at USD 20.92 billion, the consensus rating at Hold and the average price target at USD 72.41. That leaves the stock about 12.1 percent below the target and 49.6 percent above the start-of-year level of USD 43.28.

Dividend and next date

MarketBeat shows a quarterly dividend of USD 0.69 and a dividend yield of 4.26 percent, while the calendar on the same page lists next earnings for October 30, 2026. For investors, the near-term setup is shaped by the gap between a still-solid earnings beat and a share price that remains below the consensus target.
