Dow Inc. stock carries a USD 32.00 Mizuho price target after a cut from USD 35.00, with the change reported on October 1, 2026. The prior close at Lang & Schwarz was EUR 25.15 on October 5, 2026, giving German investors a dated euro reference for Dow stock.

Mizuho lowers its target

According to Markets Insider on October 1, 2026, Mizuho reduced its target for Dow from USD 35.00 to USD 32.00 and maintained a Neutral rating. The note linked the revision to a September-quarter earnings preview and cited high exports of finished products from China as a pressure on demand elsewhere.

The lower target still sits above the USD 28.51 US closing price cited by FundSpec for October 5, 2026, but the target cut narrows the implied valuation cushion. For investors, the key question is whether upcoming results can stabilize demand across Dow's packaging, infrastructure and materials businesses.

Q2 earnings beat estimates

FundSpec reported that Dow generated USD 12.10 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and delivered earnings per share of USD 1.44 against a USD 1.24 estimate. The USD 0.20 difference represented a 16.13 percent beat versus consensus.

That earnings comparison provides a stronger near-term reference than the target change alone. Revenue also remained materially above the USD 9.80 billion reported for the first quarter of 2026, although the sequential comparison reflects the different operating conditions across the two quarters.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Dow had a market capitalization of USD 20.3 billion and a 52-week range of USD 20.65 to USD 42.74 as of October 6, 2026. The USD 28.51 US close was 33.30 percent below the 52-week high, placing the analyst target discussion against a share price well below its yearly peak.

The next quarterly report is scheduled for October 22, 2026, before the market opens, with consensus revenue of USD 11.20 billion and earnings per share of USD 0.66. That forecast is below the second-quarter revenue figure, making the next report a test of whether the Q2 improvement can continue.
