Dow Chemical is one of the largest chemicals producers in the world, producing key components for a broad range of industrial and consumer chemical and plastic products. The company’s history spans over 125 years and features an evolving product portfolio. In its current form, Dow is the commodity chemicals company created in 2019 from the DowDuPont merger and subsequent separations.
Dow Chemical benefits from its cost-advantaged North American operations that use low-cost natural gas-based feedstock.
The vast majority of Dow’s products are commodities whose prices move with Brent oil prices. As Brent oil prices fall, Dow’s realized prices and profits will fall accordingly.
