Investors Urged to Join Dow Inc. Class Action Lawsuit Amid Significant Losses
Dow Inc. Class Action Lawsuit: A Call to Action for Investors
In a significant development for investors impacted by Dow Inc.’s recent financial downturn, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has opened the door for those who have suffered substantial losses to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit, titled Sarti v. Dow Inc., seeks to represent individuals who purchased or acquired Dow securities between January 30, 2025, and July 23, 2025.
Context of the Lawsuit
The allegations bring forth serious concerns regarding Dow’s business practices, specifically focusing on violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint accuses not only Dow Inc. but also its subsidiary, The Dow Chemical Company, and several top executives of perpetuating misleading statements and failing to disclose critical financial challenges facing the company.
Investors are urged to act swiftly, as the lead plaintiff process is governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This permits any investor within the specified Class Period the opportunity to seek appointment as the lead plaintiff by demonstrating the greatest financial interest in the results of the case.
Financial Misrepresentation Allegations
The lawsuit outlines a series of claims regarding the misrepresentation of Dow’s ability to navigate macroeconomic difficulties, especially concerning tariffs and financial flexibility. Specifically, it points to a scenario where Dow overstated its resilience in maintaining lucrative dividends and downplayed the severe economic headwinds affecting its operational capacity.
An instance that underscores these allegations occurred on June 23, 2025, when BMO Capital downgraded Dow's stock rating from 'Market Perform' to 'Underperform', slashing the price target from $29.00 to $22.00 per share. This decision was attributed to ongoing weaknesses in key markets, coupled with increasing pressure on Dow’s dividend, leading to a dip in the stock price by over 3% shortly after.
Following this, Dow’s financial reporting on July 24, 2025, revealed alarming losses that were significantly greater than analysts’ predictions. With a reported non-GAAP loss per share of $0.42, this figure starkly contrasted expectations of a mere $0.17 to $0.18 loss per share. Compounding this financial distress, Dow missed net sales targets by $130 million, reflecting a worrying 7.3% decline compared to the previous year.
Dividends Cut Amid Detailed Poor Performance
In light of the disappointing report, Dow’s CEO, Jim Fitterling, highlighted a challenging earnings environment tied to trade uncertainties and competitive pressures, revealing the company would halve its dividend from $0.70 to $0.35 per share. This announcement caused Dow’s stock price to tumble by over 17%, prompting further investor dissatisfaction and raising eyebrows about the company's transparency regarding its financial health.
Your Role as a Lead Plaintiff
As the legal case progresses, potential lead plaintiffs can influence the course of action taken by the class. Plaintiffs participating will lead the charge in this significant case, essentially representing the collective interests of the shareholders who have been wronged. Importantly, choosing to serve as lead plaintiff does not impact the ability of other investors to share in any future recovery.
