The firm noted that Dow’s recent dividend cut, reducing the quarterly dividend by 50% to 35 cents per share, reset its capital allocation strategy. This action provided flexibility for debt repayment and a new share buyback program. Rothschild Redburn described Dow’s stock as being at a “trough free cash flow-based valuation” and below mid-cycle and replacement cost levels, and the firm sees the stock as offering an attractive risk/reward profile.
