Dow Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results Driven by Pricing Gains and Cost Management
Dow Inc. (DOW) reported a significant turnaround in its third-quarter 2026 results, posting net sales of $11.3 billion, a 13% increase year-over-year. The company achieved a non-GAAP operating EPS of $0.71, a sharp recovery from the $0.19 loss reported in the same period last year. This growth was primarily fueled by a 14% increase in local pricing across all segments, which successfully offset higher raw material and logistics costs. Operational efficiency played a major role in the results, with 'self-help' measures contributing significantly to an operating EBITDA of $1.553 billion. Despite a slight 1% decline in overall volume due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting Asia Pacific operations, Dow maintained strong liquidity with $14 billion on hand and robust free cash flow of $1.1 billion. The company continues its aggressive cost-reduction strategy, including a planned reduction of 4,500 roles.
