Recent results show margin pressure

According to Dow in its second-quarter 2026 report covering the period to June 30, 2026, the company generated net sales of about USD 10.9 billion, roughly flat compared with the prior-year quarter.

In the same second quarter of 2026, Dow reported operating EBITDA of around USD 1.6 billion, down from about USD 2.0 billion a year earlier, highlighting margin pressure from lower pricing and higher input costs.

Analyst targets sit only moderately above the share price

Per data on September 11, 2026 from Yahoo Finance, the average analyst 12-month price target for Dow stands at USD 34.69, compared with the current price of USD 29.03, implying upside of about 19.5% if forecasts are met.

The same overview shows a high price target of USD 42.00 and a low around USD 29.00, so the stock is trading close to the bottom end of the published target range as of September 11, 2026.

Stock trades well above its 52-week low

Market data from Yahoo Finance on September 11, 2026 put the 52-week low for Dow stock at USD 22.43 and the 52-week high at USD 36.82, meaning the closing price of USD 29.03 is about 29.6% above the low but roughly 21.1% below the high.

On the same date, Dow's market capitalization was about USD 20.4 billion, underlining its role as a mid-sized constituent of the U.S. chemicals sector rather than a mega-cap player.
