Dow Inc. Class Action Lawsuit: An Opportunity for Investors to Take Action
In a significant development for shareholders of Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW), the law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has initiated a class action lawsuit aimed at addressing the grievances of investors who purchased or acquired Dow securities between January 30, 2025, and July 23, 2025. Those who suffered substantial financial losses during this period are encouraged to seek lead plaintiff status in the lawsuit, which is officially titled
Sarti v. Dow Inc., No. 25-cv-12744 in the Eastern District of Michigan. The deadline for interested investors to put their names forward is October 28, 2025.
Allegations and Class Period Details
The lawsuit revolves around allegations that Dow, along with its subsidiary The Dow Chemical Company and its executives, breached provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint states that the defendants made false and misleading statements, failing to adequately disclose significant issues impacting the company's financial health. These issues include:
- - Dow's heightened exposure to macroeconomic and tariff-related challenges
- - An inflated assessment of the company’s financial flexibility, which is crucial for sustaining its dividend payments
- - Understated competitive pressures and declining global demand for Dow’s products which further exacerbated the firm's market position
The lawsuit cites crucial events during this period, including a pivotal downgrade from BMO Capital on June 23, 2025, which changed the rating on Dow’s stock from
Market Perform to
Underperform. BMO's report also slashed its price target for Dow’s stock from $29.00 to $22.00, reflecting concerns over persistent weakness across key market sectors and growing pressure on Dow’s dividends. The soon-after stock price response showed a decline exceeding 3%, underscoring market sensitivity to these developments.
On July 24, 2025, Dow revealed disappointing financial results that further catalyzed investor cynicism. The company reported a
non-GAAP loss per share of $0.42—substantially worse than analysts had predicted. As net sales dropped by 7.3% to $10.1 billion, which missed consensus estimates by $130 million, their CEO, Jim Fitterling, attributed the setback to a prolonged earnings slump and ongoing trade uncertainties. The fallout from this announcement resulted in a staggering drop in Dow’s stock price, plummeting over 17% in the trading session that followed, as investors reacted to news of a dividend cut by 50%. This news indicated an urgent need for financial maneuverability amid challenging economic conditions, triggering alarms about Dow's future prospects.
The Role of a Lead Plaintiff
Investors who stand to gain financially from the class action are urged to consider taking on the role of lead plaintiff. According to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, any investor who acquired Dow shares during the specified class period is eligible to advocate for the interests of all affected shareholders. The lead plaintiff's responsibilities include guiding the litigation and representing the collective interests of the class members.
