Dow has underperformed the industry it belongs to over the last three months. The company’s shares have moved up around 2.8% over this period, compared with roughly 4.1% gain recorded by the industry.
Dow is witnessing improved global economic activity with strong momentum in manufacturing, investment and trade. While strength of the consumer is driving expansion in the U.S., improvement in Europe is expected to remain on a steady track. The company is also seeing signs of stabilization in Latin America, especially in the agriculture market. Dow also believes that it is well positioned to capture demand in consumer-led markets.
The company is expected to gain from its focus on consumer-led markets and its strategic investments in the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Middle East. Dow should also benefit from its productivity management actions and cost synergies associated with Dow Corning Silicones business. The planned merger with DuPont (NYSE:DD) is also expected to create significant synergies.
