Hong Kong’s authorities are finally getting serious about enforcement against reckless behaviour threatening our precious countryside. While there is no shortage of laws for protection in this respect, our natural assets are left at the mercy of visitors with little awareness of wildlife conservation or respect for the environment. The 18 enforcement actions taken at Sai Kung East Country Park over the first four days of the Easter break may appear too little, too late, but they signal a turning...

Silver Place/iStock via Getty Images Article Thesis LyondellBasell Industries N.V. ( LYB ) is a chemicals company that has seen its shares surge in recent weeks. Disruptions to global energy flows and attacks on infrastructure in the Middle East have improved the earnings outlook for US-based chemical companies massively, with LYB being one of the key beneficiaries of that. LYB's share price has risen considerably so far this year, but I believe that shares are nevertheless not overly expensive right now. While a dividend cut earlier this year has destroyed the company's dividend growth track record, the yield isn't bad -- LYB yields around 3.7% right now. All in all, I'm moderately bullish on LyondellBasell for now and think there is substantial upside potential over a multi-year time frame. Past Coverage I have written about LyondellBasell here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in January 2026 . I gave the company a Buy rating back then, noting its undemanding valuation and high dividend yield, but I also cautioned that a dividend reduction was possible. LYB has indeed reduced its dividend since then, but shares have nevertheless been a great investment -- at the time of writing, LyondellBasell has returned more than 50% since my most recent article, while the broad market ( SPY ) has dropped by 2% since then. LyondellBasell: Macro Tailwinds The current conflict in the Middle East has entered an armistice for now, but that seems fragile for now. Prior to the most recent development, the war had resulted in major disruptions to global energy markets, but also in major effects on global chemical markets. Despite the current armistice, these disruptions also continue to persist: the Strait of Hormuz is still seeing low traffic volumes, oil prices and LNG prices remain very high, and attacks on oil and chemical infrastructure and assets in countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia have resulted in hits to production capacity. For US-based chemical companies...
