Dow Inc (DOW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical's stock outlook remains positive due to increased margins reported in Q3, attributed to the successful ramp-up of new Poly-7 and Alkoxylation units, which delivered stronger-than-expected volumes. Additionally, anticipated price increases and reduced merchant ethylene sales are expected to further bolster financial performance in the upcoming quarter. Dow's ability to utilize flexible feedstock positions it advantageously over higher-cost competitors, potentially enhancing its profitability amid market volatility.
Bears say
The negative outlook on Dow's stock is primarily driven by significantly lowered EBITDA estimates for Q3/FY25/FY26, revised down from $1.03 billion to $800 million for Q3 and from $3.85 billion to $3.15 billion for FY25, indicating a decline in expected earnings. This revision reflects assumptions of further demand weakness across global markets, exacerbated by anticipated margin compression in the polyethylene chain and unfavorable conditions in the polyurethane sector. Additionally, continued elevated energy costs and a downturn in both industrial and consumer-facing end-markets contribute to a challenging financial environment, leading to a decreased price target from $30 to $26.
