Westlake Expects Fourth-Quarter HIP Revenue of $900 Million to $1 Billion
Bitget2026/11/04 11:36- Westlake expects fourth-quarter 2026 Housing and Infrastructure Products revenue of $900 million to $1 billion, with an approximately 13% EBITDA margin.
- Third-quarter segment EBITDA margin was 18%, pressured by cost inflation; sales volume fell 6% year over year amid slowing building-products demand.
- The profitability improvement plan targets a $600 million EBITDA benefit for full-year 2026, following approximately $200 million delivered in the third quarter.
- Most annual benefits should accrue to Performance and Essential Materials, where higher European energy costs are expected to pressure fourth-quarter earnings.
- Recovering selling prices could partially offset seasonally lower volumes and rising input costs in that segment.
