Dow stock (ISIN US2605571031) traded at USD 29.49 on the NYSE on September 17, 2026, down 1.96 percent on the session. Wells Fargo analyst Abigail Eberts kept a Buy rating and set a price target of USD 35.00 on September 17, 2026, according to TipRanks.

Target still leaves room

The gap between USD 29.49 and USD 35.00 is about 18.7 percent, which keeps the latest broker view ahead of the market price. The same TipRanks report also cites a Hold consensus rating and an average target of USD 35.50 for Dow stock, both published on September 17, 2026, according to TipRanks.

For the recent trading day, CNBC showed Dow Inc at USD 29.49, a 52-week range of USD 20.65 to USD 42.74, and volume of 7,271,114 shares on September 17, 2026. That places the stock 30.9 percent below its 52-week high and 43.0 percent above its 52-week low.

Quarterly numbers matter

MSN said on September 17, 2026 that the consensus for Dow's next quarter calls for EPS of USD 0.74, up 489.47 percent from the year-ago quarter, on revenue of USD 11.3 billion, up 13.28 percent. For the full year, the same report points to EPS of USD 2.39 and revenue of USD 43.37 billion, both marked as consensus estimates for Dow stock.

Reuters and other market reports also showed the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending at 51,778.04 on September 17, 2026, up 0.61 percent. That broader risk tone matters for Dow stock because the shares moved alongside a firmer U.S. market backdrop rather than against it.

Stock near the low end

Dow stock closed at USD 29.49 on September 17, 2026, with the 52-week range at USD 20.65 to USD 42.74 and volume at 7,271,114 shares. The stock is therefore closer to the lower half of that range than to the high end.
