Description: DOW Dow January 03, 2026
Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) is a global materials-science company that serves packaging, infrastructure, mobility and consumer markets through three operating segments: Packaging & Specialty Plastics, Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, and Performance Materials & Coatings. The Packaging & Specialty Plastics segment produces ethylene-based polymers and elastomers; the Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure segment supplies polyurethanes, chlor-alkali chemicals and construction chemicals; and the Performance Materials & Coatings segment offers architectural and industrial coatings, as well as silicon-based building blocks. Dow also maintains a non-core property-and-casualty insurance and reinsurance business.
Key metrics from FY 2023 show $23.2 billion in revenue, an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 12 %, and capital expenditures of $1.8 billion focused on expanding its high-margin specialty polymer capacity. The company’s performance is tightly linked to feedstock (natural-gas) pricing, global construction spending, and the growth of e-commerce-driven packaging demand-each of which can swing earnings by several percentage points. Dow’s ongoing cost-reduction program targets a 5 % improvement in operating leverage by 2025, while its recent acquisition of a specialty coatings platform is expected to lift the Performance Materials segment’s contribution margin by 150 basis points.
