Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts have mixed opinions regarding Dow Inc.'s prospects. Many express concern over the company's heavy reliance on China's economic recovery, indicating that the current trading behavior is overly optimistic given China's ongoing economic struggles. Some analysts highlight the importance of monitoring the stock's support levels before making a purchasing decision, noting that it has broken critical support. Additionally, the stock is seen as somewhat overvalued at a 20x price-to-earnings ratio, with estimates trending downward due to exposure to China. However, there are arguments that the upcoming rate cuts could provide a boost to the housing market and related industries, making it a potential buying opportunity, especially if the dividend yield reaches 7%. Overall, the consensus reflects apprehension and suggests a cautious approach towards the stock in the near term.

DD, DowDupont

DON'T BUY

Like the other chemical companies, DOW is trading as if they are just calls on China turning around. This is wrong to do.

DON'T BUY

It's broken. When a stock's broken support, you don't want to buy it.

DON'T BUY

It's tied to China, like all materials stocks are, and those stock keep going down. Don't touch this until at least January.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Still sells at 20x PE. Estimates keep going down, because of China--stocks that have any association with China tend to hurt. That said, if this stock reaches a 7% dividend yield, you must buy.

BUY

The best time to buy this is right now, at the start of rate-cutting, which will boost housing and products associating with home-building like appliances and carpets which require chemicals. Also, China's stimulus is a boost to cyclicals levered to China's economy.

COMMENT

Shares popped last Friday on hopes that China's stimulus plans can boost Dow, a stock that has been slumping lately.

DON'T BUY

Chemical companies are industrials, and industrials do poorly during recessions. Shipments are down 14%, so earnings will struggle. 7x earnings. Dividend hasn't grown in last 5 years, so higher inflation wipes out your income. Yield is unattractive at 5.6%, which is only high because stock price has come down. Instead, he owns DHR and TMO.

WATCH

It reports Thursday. Plastics and copper are directly tied to economic growth. Listen to the quarterly call for their progress to gain clues about the economy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

We'll be in a trading range in the short term at least. The Fed is so behind the inflation curve; inflation so high. Can the Fed engineer a soft landing? Even 7 rate hikes won't cure inflation. We need to fix supply chains. On the positive side, she always felt 2022 growth will be slower than 2021, because fiscal supports have ended. Housing is still strong. Banks are lending, and consumers have historically high amounts of cash to spend. She is adding during this weakness to Dow Chemicals and American Express for example. Look for solid fundamdentals.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 26/19, Down 15%) He sold. He liked only a part of the new proposed Dow.

PARTIAL BUY

One of the world's largest chemical producers. It is very highly cyclical. He thinks we will get through this. It had a nice bounce. Management has said they don't intend to trim that nice dividend. You need a year and a half to two years as an investment horizon. It could go down in the short term. It is a great way to play a cyclical recovery.

DON'T BUY

This will move with oil prices, up or down. Look elsewhere. Not a good time in the cycle to buy this.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Dow is the chemical side, which is very cyclical. Worries of a recession in Germany and the Chinese trade drove stock prices down in August, but has since recovered nicely. A good buy on weakness. Not one of his core holdings.

COMMENT

It is split up into Dow and Dupont again. Dupont is a petro-chemical company going through difficult times. DOW is a bit more specialized. It has a 5%+ dividend. They are both defensive stocks over 10 years.

TOP PICK

A defensive stock. Expects surprising growth. (Analysts’ price target is $60.45)
