Live On CNBC, Jenny Harrington Announces Bought LyondellBasell Industries

LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYB#NYSE">LYB</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Thursday. The company inked an agreement and exclusive negotiations with AEQUITA regarding the sale of certain European olefins and polyolefins assets and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45787207/lyondellbasell-enters-into-an-agreement-and-exclusive-negotiations-with-aequita-for-the-sale-of-fo" rel="noreferrer noopener">operations for an undisclosed amount</a>.
The assets and operations to be acquired by AEQUITA encompass both integrated and stand-alone facilities within LyondellBasell's European olefins and polyolefins segment.
These assets include facilities located in Berre, France; Münchsmünster, Germany; Carrington, United Kingdom; and Tarragona, Spain.
Collectively, these facilities form a sizable and strategically positioned platform, located near a well-established customer base and offering strong access to essential infrastructure and logistics networks.
Notably, LyondellBasell and AEQUITA have entered into a put option agreement, under which AEQUITA is obligated to proceed with a pre-agreed purchase contract should LyondellBasell choose to exercise its option, following the completion of required consultations with employee representative bodies.
The transaction is anticipated to close in the first half of 2026, pending the conclusion of these consultation processes and customary closing conditions.
Peter Vanacker, LyondellBasell&#8217;s chief executive officer, said, &#8220;This contemplated transaction is a significant step in LYB&#8217;s transformation to Grow and Upgrade our Core.&#8221;
&#8220;Europe remains a core market for LYB and one we&nbsp;will continue to participate in following this transaction with more of a focus on value creation through establishing profitable leadership in circular and renewable solutions.&#8221;
In May, LyondellBasell disclosed a quarterly dividend of $1.37 per share, up 3 cents per share over the company&#8217;s first quarter 2025 dividend, payable on June 9, 2025, to shareholders of record date <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45583326/lyb-announces-increase-to-quarterly-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as of June 2, 2025</a>.
In April, the company posted first-quarter revenue of $7.677 billion, topping estimates of $7.47 billion, while adjusted EPS came in at 33 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45007588/lyondellbasell-stock-slips-despite-q1-revenue-beat-as-profit-margins-narrow-and-eps-misses-expectations" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of 43 cents</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Amplify ETF Trust Amplify Natural Resources Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDIV#NYSE">NDIV</a>) and WBI Power Factor High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBIY#NYSE">WBIY</a>).

LyondellBasell Enters Into An Agreement And Exclusive Negotiations With AEQUITA For The Sale Of Select Olefins & Polyolefins Assets And The Associated Business In Europe

Lyondellbasell Declared Quarterly Dividend Of $1.37 Per Share, Representing $0.03 Per Share Increase Over Q1 Dividend; It Will Be Paid To Shareholders On June 9, 2025, With An Ex-dividend

Despite a powerful 22% surge in the S&amp;P 500 since the April lows—driven by easing U.S.-China trade tensions and a 90-day pause on new tariffs—only half of the index&#8217;s stocks have managed to rise above their 200-day moving average, indicating a market rally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">that remains potentially incomplete.</a>
This technical indicator, often used to gauge long-term trends and market breadth, currently shows that just 49.9% of S&amp;P 500 components are in what traders would consider a bullish trend. 
That figure remains below both the five- and 10-year averages of 60%, suggesting a wide swath of the market has yet to participate in the rebound.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breadth Gauge Shows Room To Run</h3>
Over the past four years, the percentage of stocks above their 200-day moving average has moved within a wide 10% to 92% range. The extreme lows—seen in June and September 2022 at just 10%—came during periods of heightened recession fears and monetary tightening. 
The recent cycle bottom occurred just last month, when the figure dipped to 15% following April's sharp, tariff-driven selloff.
The highest reading in the last four years came in May 2021, at 92%, during a time of peak post-pandemic optimism. More recently, a high of 82% was recorded in September 2024, following the start of Federal Reserve policy easing.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Analysts Say About The Tariff Pause and Market Reaction</h3>
Analysts say that the 90-day tariff truce announced in April and this week&#8217;s truce between the U.S. and China helped revive risk appetite, but they remain cautious about its long-term effects.
In a note on Wednesday, Peter Oppenheimer, strategist at Goldman Sachs, said the outcome was "much better than we had expected," noting that the tariff levies of 30 percentage points by the U.S. and +5 points by China were significantly lower than prior worst-case estimates.
Oppenheimer also highlighted that the new U.S.-UK trade agreement contributes to a more constructive global growth outlook and has mitigated fears of long-term economic damage from the April drawdown.
He added that the market has begun to price out recession risks. 
"Certainly, recent news has been supportive for risk in three respects: it has shown the U.S. Administration to be pragmatic and keen to de-escalate&#8230; it suggests a lower likely outcome for the average effective tariff rate&#8230; and it has led to a number of growth upgrades," he said.
Rick Gardner, chief investment officer at RGA Investments, said markets are already "pricing in an environment where the U.S. and China are able to trade with each other," even if some economic weakness persists.
"Even if we see a continued economic slowdown, the stock market may have already priced that in during the April selloff," Gardner said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500&#8217;s Top 20 Laggards – Price vs. 200-Day Moving Average</h3>
More than 20 S&amp;P 500 stocks are still trading over 20% below their 200-day moving averages, highlighting substantial technical room for recovery among the index's biggest underperformers during the tariff-relief rally.

Wall Street's three-day rally came to a pause on Friday, with major indices hovering near the flatline by midday in New York as caution returned amid mixed signals on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">U.S.-China trade relations.</a>
President Donald Trump claimed to have held a phone call with President Xi Jinping, yet Chinese officials denied that any talks had taken place.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its rally into a fourth consecutive session, notching its best weekly performance of the year with a 16% gain. On Thursday afternoon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles, saying it aimed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and advance toward a unified national standard.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) was the biggest laggard of the day, falling 11%, on track for its worst single-day loss since March 2020. This came despite better-than-expected earnings, as its core wireless business posted slower growth than analysts had projected.
Among sectors, consumer discretionary led gains, buoyed by Tesla's 8% gain, while materials underperformed.
In fixed income, Treasury yields declined for a fourth straight session, underscoring how critical Trump's early-week reassurance — that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell — was for bond market sentiment.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped 4 basis points to 4.27%, on course for its lowest close since April 8.
In commodities, gold slid 2%, oil held steady at $62 per barrel, and natural gas rose 1% to $3 per million British thermal units, snapping a 10-session losing streak.

Wall Street Rally Pauses, Tesla Heads For Strongest Week In 6 Months: What's Driving Markets Friday?

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYB#NYSE">LYB</a>) stock traded lower premarket on Friday after the company reported mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g45003699/lyondellbasell-reports-first-quarter-2025-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025 results</a>.
LyondellBasell posted revenue of $7.677 billion, down 7.6% year-over-year but topping estimates of $7.47 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at 33 cents, missing the consensus of 43 cents.
Adjusted EBITDA stood at 576 million (-40.2% YoY), and the margin contracted 410 bps to 7.5%.
U.S. polyethylene margins fell due to maintenance and higher feedstock costs, while polypropylene volumes rose 12% with better utilization.
European polyethylene profitability improved with increased cracker utilization and seasonal demand; rising natural gas prices hit acetyls and oxyfuels margins.
LyondellBasell used $579 million in operating cash flow in Q1, driven by higher receivables, inventory buildup, and delayed tax payments. The company invested $483 million in capex and returned $543M to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, maintaining a balanced strategy.
LyondellBasell ended the quarter with $1.9 billion in cash and $6.5 billion in total available liquidity, exceeding its 12-month cash conversion target.
LyondellBasell advanced its three-pillar strategy by approving a U.S. propylene expansion, securing cost-advantaged feedstocks in Saudi Arabia, exiting non-core Dutch and refinery assets, and launching a $500M 2025 Cash Improvement Plan.
Peter Vanacker, LyondellBasell&#8217;s chief executive officer, said the company continues to &#8220;take sensible measures&#8221; to strengthen its near-term cash generation amid a prolonged industry downturn. 
&#8220;Our financial and operational discipline enables us to effectively navigate macroeconomic challenges, achieve sustainable growth and provide a strong and reliable dividend throughout the cycle," added Vanacker.
