Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Dow Inc. for Securities Fraud

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Dow Inc.

Overview of the Case

On September 8, 2025, Pomerantz LLP announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Dow Inc., a well-known American materials science company, and certain of its top officers. The lawsuit, lodged in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, seeks compensation for individuals and entities that acquired Dow securities from January 30, 2025, to July 23, 2025. The action has been designed to recover damages that arose due to alleged violations of federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Allegations Detail

Investors who purchased Dow's securities during the specified class period are now eligible to seek recognition as lead plaintiffs in the case. Pomerantz emphasizes the urgency for such investors to step forward by October 28, 2025. The lawsuit’s details indicate that the defendants might have misrepresented the company's financial stability and operational performance amid challenging market conditions. Notably, the complaint points out misleading statements regarding Dow's ability to manage macroeconomic obstacles and its financial flexibility to sustain dividends—elements crucial for investor confidence.

Dow, which operates across markets like packaging and consumer applications, has historically emphasized its robust dividend returns, a selling point highlighted by the company’s CEO, Jim Fitterling. Despite adverse conditions in the materials science sector and rising market uncertainties, Fitterling portrayed the company as resilient, touting a “differentiated portfolio” and other supposed competitive advantages.

Dow's Performance and Investor Backlash

However, the lawsuit claims that during the class period, top officials made unfounded statements regarding Dow’s business and overlooked critical factors impacting its performance. For instance, they allegedly downplayed the influence of increased pricing pressure and sluggish global demand, concerns that ultimately materialized in Dow's financial results.
