Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical has experienced margin growth in its Performance & Specialty Plastics (P&SP) and Infrastructure & Solutions (II&I) segments, driven by the successful launch of its new Poly-7 and Alkoxylation units in the U.S. Gulf Coast, resulting in stronger-than-expected volumes. The company anticipates further improvements in Q3, bolstered by price increases, reduced merchant ethylene sales, and contributions from its Poly-7 unit, which positions Dow favorably amid constraints seen from import measures. Additionally, Dow's ability to utilize flexible feedstock offers a competitive advantage against higher-cost producers, suggesting resilience and adaptability in its operational strategy.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Dow Chemical appears negative due to significantly lowered EBITDA estimates for Q3, FY25, and FY26, reflecting a decline from $1.03 billion, $3.85 billion, and $4.70 billion to $800 million, $3.15 billion, and $3.60 billion, respectively. Concurrently, the company faces challenging market conditions characterized by demand weakness across key sectors like industrial and consumer markets, alongside further anticipated oil price declines, which could exacerbate its earnings challenges. Additionally, ongoing margin compression in the polyethylene chain and elevated energy costs contribute to a pessimistic forecast for the company's profitability and overall financial health.
