LyondellBasell Industries N.V. dividend income comes from one of the world's largest chemical manufacturers, producing polyethylene, polypropylene, and propylene oxide across operations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The current yield stands at 7.72%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.12 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 1, 2026. LYB's beta of 0.362 points to low price volatility, which suits income-focused investors who want yield without sharp swings in share price.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. pays out -26.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). A negative payout ratio reflects a period of negative reported earnings, meaning the $4.12 annual dividend is currently being funded from sources other than net income, which is a factor worth watching for LyondellBasell Industries N.V. dividend safety. The most significant data-supported pressure point is that the payout is not covered by reported earnings, a condition that cannot persist indefinitely without earnings recovery.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.6% per year from 2014 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $2.70 in 2014 to $5.45 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 123.0% in 2022, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -18.0% | $9.90 (2022) | $5.45 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.3% | $4.20 (2020) | $5.45 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +9.2% | $2.26 (2015) | $5.45 (2025) |
LYB fits income-focused investors who prioritize yield over growth predictability. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), currently at 7.72%, though that sits well below the 5-year average yield of 11.24%, which reflects how much the yield has compressed from prior highs. Two consecutive years of dividend increases show recent upward momentum, but the negative payout ratio means earnings are not currently covering the payout. LyondellBasell Industries N.V. stock offers a high cash yield from a large, diversified chemical business, and the trade-off is earnings coverage risk in a cyclical industry.
