How LYB's dividend compares
Across the 1000 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.57%. LYB's 4.22% is 0.65 percentage points above that median, ranking 456th of 1000 by yield.
Within Basic Materials, where we track 36 names, the median yield is 1.22% — putting LYB above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
Its 5-year run of dividend increases ranks 237th out of the 553 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
LYB pays out roughly 7% of its earnings as dividends. That is a conservative payout ratio, leaving substantial room to keep raising the dividend or absorb a weak year.
Like most US dividend payers, LYB distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
