Dow Inc (DOW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical's positive outlook is supported by stronger margins reported in Q3, driven by robust performance from its new Poly-7 and Alkoxylation units in the U.S. Gulf Coast. The company anticipates improvements in Q3 due to strategic price increases and reduced merchant ethylene sales, alongside contributions from its new product lines. Additionally, Dow's ability to leverage flexible feedstock positions it favorably compared to high-cost competitors, indicating resilience even amidst broader economic challenges.
Bears say
Dow Chemical's outlook is negatively impacted by lowered EBITDA estimates for Q3/FY25/FY26, which have been adjusted downwards to $800 million, $3.15 billion, and $3.60 billion, respectively, from previous forecasts of $1.03 billion, $3.85 billion, and $4.70 billion. This reassessment reflects expectations of continued demand weakness across key markets, including industrial and consumer-facing sectors, as well as projected margin compression in polyethylene and adverse conditions in polyurethane. Additionally, the company faces challenges from elevated energy costs and a downturn in global demand, all contributing to a higher valuation multiple maintained at 8.0x despite deteriorating earnings levels.
