Dow Inc. Stock Soars as Analysts Predict 367% EPS Growth

Dow Inc., one of the world's leading materials science companies, has seen its stock surge 46.2% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming the broader S&P 500 Index.

The company's shares have also increased 30.5% on a YTD basis, compared to SPX's 13.3% return. Dow has outperformed due to aggressive cost-cutting, improving margins, higher plastics prices, and its structural U.S. natural-gas cost advantage.

Despite reporting better-than-expected Q2 2026 revenue of $12.09 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.44, Dow shares fell 1.1% on Jul. 23 due to weaker underlying demand and a cautious H2 outlook.

Analysts expect DOW's adjusted EPS to climb 367% year-over-year to $2.51 for the fiscal year ending in December 2026. The company has a promising earnings surprise history, beating consensus estimates in each of the last four quarters.
