Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical's recent financial performance reflects both increased margins and stronger-than-expected volume growth from new production units, such as Poly-7 and Alkoxylation, contributing positively to the outlook for Q3. The company's strategic adjustments, including price increases and reduced merchant ethylene sales, are anticipated to further enhance profitability, alongside rising demand for film plastics driven by the fresh food market. Additionally, Dow's flexibility in utilizing various feedstocks positions the company favorably against higher-cost competitors, suggesting a substantial competitive advantage moving forward.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Dow Chemical has been significantly downgraded, with Q3/FY25/FY26 EBITDA estimates reduced to $800 million, $3.15 billion, and $3.60 billion, down from previous forecasts of $1.03 billion, $3.85 billion, and $4.70 billion respectively. This revision is attributed to anticipated demand weakness across various sectors, including industrial and consumer markets, coupled with margin compression in polyethylene and challenging conditions in the polyurethane market. Furthermore, the expected continued elevation in energy and power costs adds to the negative sentiment surrounding the company's future financial performance.
