Jefferies analyst Laurence Alexander raised the firm’s price target on Dow Inc. (DOW) to $28 from $23 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares following the company’s Q4 report. End-market trends remain weak and demand remains muted in the first half of 2026, but a modest demand recovery seems likely in the second half and recent cost actions, asset rationalization, and the new restructuring plan will amplify earnings when a broader rebound occurs, the analyst tells investors.
