Opportunities Arise for Dow Inc. Investors Amidst Class Action Lawsuit

Dow Inc. Class Action Lawsuit Overview

In recent developments, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, a prominent law firm, has announced an opportunity for investors of Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW) who have suffered significant financial losses to become lead plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit. This lawsuit focuses on alleged violations pertaining to securities laws during a specific time frame—from January 30, 2025, to July 23, 2025.

Key Details of the Lawsuit

The class action complaint, officially titled Sarti v. Dow Inc., is based in the Eastern District of Michigan and includes charges against Dow and its executives related to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Investors who purchased or acquired Dow securities during the listed period, and experienced losses due to the alleged misleading information and failure to disclose crucial financial challenges, have until October 28, 2025, to seek lead plaintiff status.

Allegations Against Dow Inc.

The allegations raised in the lawsuit outline troubling claims regarding Dow’s financial disclosure practices. It is asserted that Dow’s portrayal of its ability to manage macroeconomic pressures and sustain dividend payouts was overly optimistic, thereby deceiving investors about the actual state of Company operations. Specifically, the lawsuit points to several instances where Dow allegedly underestimated the impact of competitive pricing, diminished global sales, and product oversupply on its financial health.

For example, in a notable downgrade on June 23, 2025, BMO Capital lowered its recommendation of Dow from "Market Perform" to "Underperform," drastically revising the price target for Dow stock from $29.00 to $22.00. This downgrade was linked to sustained weaknesses in key markets and the escalating pressure on Dow’s dividend sustainability. The aftermath of this report saw a decline of over 3% in Dow’s stock price, reflecting investors’ immediate reactions to the grim outlook.

Impact on Shareholder Value

The situation worsened when on July 24, 2025, Dow released its disappointing second-quarter financial results, reporting a non-GAAP loss per share of $0.42. This result diverged significantly from analysts’ expectations, prompting a marked stock decline of over 17%. Furthermore, the announcement that the company would reduce its dividend by 50%—from $0.70 to $0.35—was a telltale sign of challenges within the company, as mentioned by CEO Jim Fitterling, who attributed these issues to ongoing economic uncertainties.

Becoming a Lead Plaintiff

Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, any investor affected during the defined class period can apply to serve as lead plaintiff. The selection criteria favor those with the greatest financial stake in the litigation who can represent the interests of the other affected shareholders. As a lead plaintiff, you will collaborate with the legal firm of your choice to pursue the class action suit further against Dow Inc. Although serving as a lead plaintiff can significantly affect the direction of the case, it is essential to know that an investor does not need to lead the suit to benefit from any eventual recovery.
