As of the October 20, 2026 close, LYB finished 1.55% below its 150-day moving average ($64.71) and 2.72% above its 200-day moving average ($62.02). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is LYB overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, LYB's RSI(14) was 75.4, in overbought territory (above 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $2.65B in cash, though total debt stands at $14.33B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow comes in at $1.23B, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of -2.3% points to negative capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 4.1% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $46.17B to $30.15B.
The relatively low beta of 0.35 suggests LYB is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing LYB.
