Over the past six months, Westlake Corp.'s stock price has experienced a decline of 28.1%. Key events include reporting a wider adjusted loss per share than expected in Q1 2026, though Q2 2026 saw a significant turnaround with EPS surpassing estimates and net income reaching $260 million, causing shares to surge. In February 2026, S&P Global Ratings downgraded Westlake to 'BBB' from 'BBB+' due to deteriorating credit metrics in 2025. Legal developments include securing a win in two European ethylene antitrust lawsuits in July 2026, dismissing claims worth over a billion euros, though 12 other related lawsuits are pending. Westlake declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share, payable in June and September 2026. In August 2026, the company announced a dual listing on the newly launched NYSE Texas and appointed Tommy E. Darby as Chief Accounting Officer.
