Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical's recent performance reflects a successful ramp-up of new production units, particularly the Poly-7 and Alkoxylation units, which have surpassed volume expectations and contributed to higher margins in its Performance and Specialty Plastics (P&SP) and Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure (II&I) segments. The firm anticipates further improvement in Q3 driven by anticipated price increases of 5-7 cents per pound, a decrease in merchant ethylene sales, and the continuing contributions from its new Poly-7 facility. Additionally, Dow’s ability to utilize flexible feedstock positions it favorably amidst challenges in the market, suggesting a competitive edge over higher-cost producers.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Dow Chemical is negative, largely due to significant downward revisions in expected EBITDA, with Q3 projections lowered to $800 million from $1.03 billion and FY25 and FY26 estimates reduced to $3.15 billion and $3.60 billion, respectively. This decline in earnings is attributed to ongoing demand weakness anticipated in various sectors, compounded by challenges related to polyethylene chain margin compression and heightened energy costs. Additionally, the company faces adverse conditions in both industrial and consumer markets, leading to an increased skepticism regarding future financial performance.
