Dow Inc.: Dealing With The Impact Of Broad-Based Tariffs on End Market Demand and Near-Term Profitability!

The Dow Chemical Company has reported its first-quarter financial results for 2025, presenting a mixed picture of operational achievements and ongoing challenges. The company generated $10.4 billion in net sales, down 3% from the prior year due to persistent margin pressures across all operating segments. While sequential sales remained flat, highlighting pricing challenges in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure and Performance Materials & Coatings, these were somewhat counterbalanced by improvements in downstream silicone markets tied to home, personal care, and electronics.
