Summary
Please join S&P Global Ratings as we highlight recent global rating actions and the rationale behind them. We will have regional analysts available to answer questions on specific credits and on industry and regional dynamics.
Key discussion points:
- The petrochemical sector faces heightened risk that the downturn could persist toward the end of the decade
- Weak demand, a continued increase in global capacity and a slow pace of capacity rationalization continue to constrain margins
- We have taken negative rating actions on some companies across the different regions to reflect our assumption of sustained weakness across the global landscape
Rating actions include:
- INVISTA Equities LLC
- LyondellBasell Industries N.V.
- Olin Corp.
- Westlake Corp.
- The Dow Chemical Co.
- Alpek S.A.B. de C.V.
- INEOS Group Holdings S.A.
- INEOS Quattro Holdings Ltd.
