Revenue & Sales Performance

Moderate growth

Dow expects continued sequential volume growth, highlighted by a 3% increase in Q1 2026 and anticipates further momentum through the year.
Positive pricing momentum is taking hold across all businesses and regions, with announced price increases in April ($0.30/lb) and May ($0.20/lb) supporting margin improvements.
The company is optimizing its advantaged manufacturing footprint to capture improved margins, particularly in polyethylene packaging markets.
Demand remains resilient in core polyethylene packaging markets; however, mixed signals persist in other markets like building and construction due to macroeconomic pressures.
Supply chain disruptions and geopolitical conflicts may constrain supply, providing opportunities for Dow to capture new business in regions like Europe.
