The investigation by a law firm for current long term investors in NYSE: DOW stocks follows a lawsuit filed against Dow Inc. over alleged securities laws violations. The investigation on behalf of current long term investors in NYSE: DOW stocks, concerns whether certain Dow Inc. directors are liable in connection with the allegations made in that lawsuit.

Midland, MI based Dow Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides various materials science solutions for packaging, infrastructure, mobility, and consumer applications in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, the Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Dow conducts its worldwide operations through six global businesses organized into three operating segments: (i) Packaging & Specialty Plastics, (ii) Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, and (iii) Performance Materials & Coatings.
Historically, Dow Inc. has touted its "industry-leading dividend," which is of particular importance to investors. On conference calls with investors and analysts, Dow's Chief Executive Officer, Jim Fitterling ("Fitterling"), has variously stated that the Company's "dividend is a key element of our investment thesis," and that "north of 65% of our owners count on that dividend."

Notwithstanding an ongoing slump in the materials science industry, as well as the recent onset of tariff-related market uncertainties, at all relevant times, Dow Inc. represented that it was well positioned to weather macroeconomic and tariff-related headwinds while maintaining sufficient levels of financial flexibility to support the Company's lucrative dividend. Specifically, Dow Inc.cited various purported strengths and advantages unique to Dow Inc. in its industry, including, inter alia, the Company's purported "differentiated portfolio," "cost-advantaged footprint," and "industry-leading flexibility to navigate global trade dynamics."

On June 23, 2025, BMO Capital downgraded its recommendation on Dow Inc. to "Underperform" from "Market Perform" while also cutting its price target on the Company's stock to $22.00 per share from $29.00 per share, citing sustained weakness across key end markets and mounting pressure on the Company's dividend.

Then, on July 24, 2025, Dow Inc. issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Therein, Dow Inc. reported a non-GAAPloss per share of $0.42, significantly larger than the approximate $0.17 to $0.18 per share loss expected by analysts. Dow also reported net sales of $10.1 billion, representing a 7.3% year-over-year decline and missing consensus estimates by $130 million, "reflecting declines in all operating segments." The Company further reported, inter alia, that "sequentially, net sales were down 3%, as seasonally higher demand in Performance Materials & Coatings was more than offset by declines across the other operating segments." Defendant Fitterling blamed these disappointing results on "the lower-for-longer earnings environment that our industry is facing, amplified by recent trade and tariff uncertainties," while providing a dour outlook marked by "signs of oversupply from newer market entrants who are exporting to various regions at anti-competitive economics."

In a separate press release issued the same day, Dow Inc. revealed that it was cutting its dividend in half, from $0.70 per share to only $0.35 per share, citing the need for "financial flexibility amidst a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment."

Shares of Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW) declined from $40.09 per share on February 21, 2025 to as low as $20.40 per share on August 11, 2025.

According to that complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan the plaintiff alleges that the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Dow's ability to mitigate macroeconomic and tariff-related headwinds, as well as to maintain the financial flexibility needed to support its lucrative dividend, was overstated, that the true scope and severity of the foregoing headwinds' negative impacts on Dow's business and financial condition was understated, particularly with respect to competitive and pricing pressures, softening global sales and demand for the Company's products, and an oversupply of products in the Company's global markets, and that as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
