Dow (ISIN US2605571031) was trading at EUR 24.37 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, at 8:59 a.m. CEST, up 0.25 percent versus the prior close of EUR 24.31. The latest analyst move came on September 25, 2026, when UBS cut its price target from USD 32.00 to USD 30.00 while keeping a Neutral rating, as TradingView reported.

UBS lowers its target

The target reduction puts the analyst view below its previous level, even as the second-quarter figures showed a sharp earnings recovery. The contrast matters because Dow's operating performance improved while the target revision pointed to pressure on future chemical margins.

Second quarter swings to profit

In the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Dow generated USD 12.09 billion in net sales, up 20.00 percent from USD 10.10 billion a year earlier, according to Trivano on July 23, 2026. GAAP net income reached USD 802 million versus a USD 801 million loss in the prior-year quarter, while diluted GAAP EPS was USD 0.99 compared with a loss of USD 1.18.

Operating EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was USD 1.44 versus a loss of USD 0.42 a year earlier. Cash from continuing operations reached USD 1.32 billion, and the company said higher prices, especially in polyethylene, drove the improvement while quarterly volume fell 1.00 percent.

Next results are set for October 22

Dow's next scheduled report is Q3 2026 earnings on October 22, 2026, with the conference call planned before the US market open, according to MarketBeat. The same calendar lists consensus EPS of USD 0.63 and expected revenue of USD 11.25 billion for that quarter.

Dow's market capitalization was USD 19.9 billion on September 29, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 20.65 to USD 42.74, leaving the pre-market euro quote materially closer to the lower end of the recent trading span than the upper end.
