Dow: Expected 50% Dividend Cut, Now What?
Dow Inc. faces significant headwinds, including tariffs and weak global demand, leading to a 53% stock decline YoY and disappointing Q2 earnings. Management cut the dividend by 50% to preserve capital, signaling expectations of prolonged challenges and deteriorating financials. Sales and earnings have declined across most segments, with only minor improvements in Performance Materials & Coatings due to lower input costs.
Dow: What To Do After The Stock Plunges And The Dividend Is Cut 50%?
Dow's 17% plunge and 50% dividend cut reflect deep cyclical challenges, weak margins, and heavy debt, making the stock risky at current levels. Management is taking tough actions—cost cuts, plant closures, and dividend reductions—to stabilize the balance sheet, but near-term earnings outlook remains weak. Despite a 6% yield and some positives, I see little upside and significant risks, especially if a recession or further tariff issues emerge.
