About Dow
Dow is one of the largest plastics and chemicals producers in the world, ranking in the top five for upstream plastics production, such as polyethylene, or PE, and polypropylene, or PP. It has three reportable segments: packaging and specialty plastics (P&SP), industrial intermediates and infrastructure (II&I), and performance materials and coatings (PM&C). The company traces its roots to 1897 with the founding of the Dow Chemical Company. After a long history of chemical production, Dow strategically merged with DuPont in 2017. In 2019, Dow, DuPont, and Corteva were split to enhance operational focus on the assets of the chemical conglomerate.

What the Analysts think about Dow
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Dow stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Dow stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Dow swung to $802 million of net income in the second quarter of 2026, as sales rose 20% to $12.1 billion and operating cash flow reached $1.3 billion. That sharp recovery shows how quickly earnings can improve when chemical prices and margins strengthen. (Dow Investor Relations)
Management expects more than $1.3 billion of self-help benefits in 2026 and remains confident in a transformation opportunity exceeding $2 billion. If these savings are delivered, they could make Dow more competitive even when market conditions weaken. (Dow Investor Relations, Stock Analysis)
Dow expects to release more than $500 million of working capital in the second half and says it has no major debt maturities until 2029. That could give it room to reduce debt while completing planned maintenance, which management expects to support results later in the year. (Stock Analysis)
The second-quarter sales rebound was not matched by volume growth: overall volume fell 1% year on year, including a 4% decline in Packaging & Specialty Plastics. That leaves earnings exposed if higher prices fade before underlying sales volumes recover. (Dow Investor Relations)
Management expected third-quarter EBITDA of $1.5–$1.6 billion, below the second quarter’s $2.3 billion, amid lower polyethylene prices and volatile feedstock costs. The outlook highlights how quickly recent margin gains can reverse and how uncertain price increases are as a remedy. (Stock Analysis)
Demand remains a risk outside packaging: management described building and construction as weak, citing high mortgage rates, and said consumer spending was selective. Prolonged softness in these end markets could limit recovery in Dow’s industrial and performance materials businesses. (Stock Analysis)
