LyondellBasell shares fall 5.34% intraday due to tariff turmoil sparking sector-wide sell-off.

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. fell 5.34% intraday as concerns over weak revenue growth and industry headwinds intensified. A Simply Wall St analysis highlighted that analysts forecast LYB’s revenue to contract by 7.2% annually over the next three years, far below the chemicals industry’s 8.7% growth outlook. This pessimism was compounded by recent reports linking LYB’s selloff to tariff-related turmoil, which has pressured the sector. Despite a 25% 30-day gain, the stock remains down 26% year-to-date, reflecting investor skepticism about its ability to sustain growth. Institutional selling, including Busey Bank’s exit from its position, and warnings about declining returns on capital further fueled the decline. The low price-to-sales ratio (0.5x vs. industry peers) also underscored undervaluation amid bleak earnings expectations.
