LyondellBasell Industries N.V. carries $14.36B in total debt against $2.66B in cash reserves — debt is roughly 5.4x the cash position. Managing this leverage effectively will be important for long-term financial stability. The company generates $987.0M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of -6.0% points to negative capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 1.7% 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 0.36 suggests LYB is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. LyondellBasell Industries N.V. carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing LYB.
