# Dow Inc. (DOW) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Chemicals. Price $33.79, market value $24.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Dow Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -5.9%** (5-yr avg 7.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: -6.1%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -15.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on assets: -2.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -7.0%** (3-yr -11.1%/yr, 5-yr 0.7%/yr). Revenue fell 7.0% over the last year, against 0.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -335.7%**. Earnings per share fell 335.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.13**. Debt is 1.13 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Current ratio: 1.97** (quick 1.97). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.97 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 4.14%** ($1.40 per share, trailing). Dow Inc. yields 4.14%, an income-level yield.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -5.6%/yr** (1-yr -25.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 4.1%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 4.1% of the market value a year.
