The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- LYB closes below its 50-day average ($62.69), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($64.16): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $60.72, LYB is 27.7% below its 1-year high of $83.94, set on March 31, 2026, and 46.0% above its 1-year low of $41.58 (November 10, 2025).
- Over the past month LYB rose 0.6%, from $60.34 to $60.72.
- LYB trades at 14.7x its last twelve months of earnings and 9.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 54.8% higher.
- Its P/E is 57.0% below the 34.2x median of the 3 other specialty chemicals companies we track (LIN, SHW, ECL).
- LYB's 30-day volatility, 35.1% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.2%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.32: over five years of monthly returns, LYB moved about 0.32% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $62.69 (+3.2%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 2.3% to cross the 200-day at $64.16.
- A close above $83.94 (+38.2%) would be a new 1-year high; below $41.58 (−31.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for LYB, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under specialty chemicals among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
