Dow Stock Falls 1.9 Percent as Weaker Sales Continue
The Dow stock closed at USD 23.63 on September 22, 2026, after a 1.9 percent decline. This move leaves the shares 17.4 percent below the 52-week high of USD 28.62, making the latest operating figures central to the valuation discussion.
The company reported second-quarter 2026 sales of USD 10.9 billion, compared with USD 11.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decline of USD 0.4 billion shows that weaker pricing and demand remain important variables for the chemicals group.
Dow Inc.'s second-quarter 2026 earnings per share were USD 0.18, compared with USD 0.62 in the prior-year quarter. This lower result gives the stock a more difficult earnings base even though the company continues to operate across packaging, infrastructure, and consumer-oriented materials.
