Westlake Chemical Corporation (NYSE:WLK) is seeking acquisitions. At a Conference, Westlake Chemical’s Chief Financial Officer, Steven Mark Bender, said “Westlake Chemical is the beneficiary of all those proceeds raised back to backed by the partnership. The benefit here is by monetizing OpCo, by issuing partnership units, those partnership units traded at a much higher multiple than Westlake Chemical does. As a consequence, we are able lower our equity cost of capital. That allows us to continue to drive value, because as we look to either expand our business organically or grow through acquisition, we're using a much more cost-effective form of capital to do it.”
