LYBLyondellBasell
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in, but at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−1% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 10% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 68.9 vs a 6.0 median over 37 quarters (+1051% vs median).
Sector median 18.9× across 51 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
