Dow Inc (DOW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Dow Inc (DOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dow Chemical reports a positive outlook driven by anticipated stronger demand for film plastics, spurred by the increasing need for fresh food. The company is implementing a robust cost-cutting strategy aimed at achieving approximately $1 billion in savings, which is expected to enhance its financial flexibility and operational efficiency. Additionally, Dow’s ability to utilize flexible feedstock positions it favorably compared to other high-cost producers, contributing to its competitive advantage in the market.
Bears say
The reduction in Dow's Q1 and FY25 EBITDA estimates to $990 million and $5.40 billion, respectively, reflects an anticipated delay in demand recovery and significant headwinds, including approximately $200 million in Q1 challenges and ongoing margin pressures from rising feedstock and energy costs. Despite some resilience in North American demand, persistent weakness in European markets and broader global economic sluggishness threaten Dow's return to projected mid-cycle earnings, with forecasts now extended due to these adverse market conditions. The company's outlook is further complicated by risks associated with new polyethylene capacity, declining automotive production, and potential margin compression across key product chains going forward.
