Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Sell Rating On Shares Of Dow Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $7 to $25 using an average of a forward P/E of 13.2x our 2027 EPS view of $1.67 ($22) and our DCF model ($28). Our forward P/E is below the historic average of approximately 16x on lower expected margins and demand in 2027 compared to historical levels. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate to $2.72 from -$0.28 and 2027's to $1.67 from $0.53. Our sales projections are $44.6 billion for 2026 and $45.3 billion for 2027. We believe Dow's stock presents unfavorable risk-reward after rising 59% thus far in 2026. While the Middle East conflict has temporarily boosted Dow's performance through supply shortages and logistics disruptions enabling higher prices, better margins, and stronger competitive positioning in North America, we expect these tailwinds to fade. More importantly, sustained energy price volatility would likely hurt margins in two ways: (1) rising feedstock costs would squeeze profitability and (2) weakened industrial and consumer demand would pressure volumes.
