Is LYB overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, LYB's RSI(14) was 66.6, in neutral territory (between 30 and 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. The company generates $1.23B in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. 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. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for LyondellBasell Industries N.V. and its sector.
