Dow targets $1.3B in savings, cuts 4,500 roles and holds $14B liquidity as sales rise 13%

Dow reported a 13% year-over-year rise in net sales across all operating segments in the third quarter of 2026, it said on an earnings call on October 22, 2026. The chemicals maker is restructuring global operations and cutting 4,500 roles. It expects about $1.3 billion in net benefits from cost programmes this year and another $1.3 billion in 2027. Dow is also investing in advanced silicones for data center cooling and electric vehicles, which it says are growing at double-digit rates. It has about $14 billion of liquidity and no substantive debt maturities until 2029.

Dow beats Q3 earnings forecasts with $11.27B sales and $458M net income as cost cuts bite

Dow Inc. reported third quarter 2026 sales of $11.27 billion and net income of $458 million, with earnings per share ahead of analyst expectations. Pricing actions and cost savings drove the gain, particularly in Packaging & Specialty Plastics. The company is targeting $1.3 billion of planned self-help benefits and a broader $3 billion structural programme. It expects $700 million of growth and productivity benefits in 2026 and about $2 billion of uplift by 2027. Analysts forecast revenue growth of 2.3% a year, with earnings moving from a $1.3 billion loss to $2.1 billion by 2029. Elevated input costs and softer polyethylene demand remain the main risks.

Dow beats third-quarter profit estimates as Middle East supply shortage lifts prices

Dow Inc beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter adjusted profit on Thursday, helped by cost cuts and higher prices driven by a supply shortage tied to the Middle East conflict. The Michigan-based company reported adjusted profit of 71 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30. Analysts had expected 64 cents on average, according to data compiled by LSEG. Net sales in its packaging and specialty plastics segment rose over 18% from a year earlier to $5.8 billion. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz after the Iran conflict escalated in late February has disrupted oil and petrochemical flows. That has tightened global chemical supplies and sharply raised plastics and polymer prices. Dow has been reviewing non-producing assets, including power and steam facilities and pipelines, as higher feedstock and energy costs and weak demand weigh on the industry.

Dow swings to $887M operating EBIT in Q3 as sales rise 13% to $11.3B

Dow reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $11.3 billion, up 13% year-over-year, with gains in all operating segments. Local prices rose 14%, led by higher polyethylene prices, while volume fell 1%. GAAP net income was $525 million. Operating EBIT reached $887 million, up $707 million, as higher prices and self-help actions more than offset higher raw material and logistics costs. Operating earnings per share were $0.71, compared with a loss of $0.19 a year earlier. Cash from operations was $1.8 billion, and free cash flow was $1.1 billion. Dow paid $253 million in dividends and has cut debt by about $600 million this year. Chief executive officer Karen S. Carter said the company's self-help actions are on track to deliver more than $1 billion of EBITDA uplift in both 2026 and 2027.
