DOW · US
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 4 valuation models · updated yesterday
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $21.03 to $42.06 (+100.0%) since Jul 16, 2026. Share price +0.2% over the past month.
Below-average quality, screening 39% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (33/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The model range is unusually wide ($20.60 to $63.52). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $19.83 – $55.65 · fair‑value band $20.60 – $63.52 · the $30.36 price screens below the $42.06 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Dow Inc (DOW) currently trades at $30.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $42.06, implying the stock looks roughly 38.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Dow Inc generated revenue of $39.3B at a net margin of -7.2%. Revenue declined 6.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -15.3%. Net debt stands at $15.8B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $20.60 (bear case) to $63.52 (bull case); at $30.36, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 28% below its 52-week high and 57% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at 39%, DOW screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($24.83) versus Asset-Based ($14.88). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
