Dow reports wider first-quarter loss as sales, prices decline

Dow Inc. reported a wider first-quarter loss for 2026, with net sales down 6% to $9.8 billion and a net loss of $445 million. This was primarily attributed to 7% declining prices, weaker global demand, and geopolitical disruptions, leading to a 14 cents per share adjusted operating loss. Despite these challenges, the company’s “Transform to Outperform” efficiency program is expected to yield $2 billion in improvements, and Dow reported strong cash flow of $1.1 billion for the quarter.
