Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE: LYB) price target of $52.00 (from $53.00).
Analyst, Laurence Alexander, said, "We are lowering 2012E EBITDA $300m to reflect a potential 2H12 de-stock cycle given the recent sharp decline in crude oil prices. We still view LyondellBasell as an attractive high-beta cyclical with limited balance sheet risk. At current levels (4.2% dividend yield), the risk/reward appears attractive in a summer pause scenario."
"We note that our "conservative" valuation framework pegs fair value at $39, which would suggest that further downward pressure on LyondellBasell shares could be short-lived." (FY12 EPS estimate cut from $4.95 to $4.60 and FY13 from $5.85 to $5.80)
