Dow Inc. expects softness in industrial, durable goods demand to continue in Q1

“In 2024, we will maintain our commitment to financial and operational discipline as we continue to navigate dynamic market conditions. While we expect softness in industrial and durable goods demand to continue in the first quarter, we are encouraged by early positive signals in areas including construction, automotive and consumer electronics,” said Fitterling. “Our strong balance sheet and cash generation give us the flexibility to cover all of our capital allocation priorities as we progress through the economic cycle and advance our Decarbonize & Grow and Transform the Waste strategies. These projects are expected to deliver more than $3 billion in underlying earnings annually by 2030. Our cost-advantaged footprint, leadership in attractive end markets, and strategic growth investments position the Company well to create long-term value.”
