DOW has had a wild ride this past year. If you look at the chart, it slid all the way down close to 21 in August, then basically whiplashed back up to the low 40s by spring before giving up ground again. That kind of volatility usually scares me off, but the fact that it’s now cooled off to 34.20 after such a run grabs my attention. I’m leaning bullish here, with a target of 39.50 in the next couple months. Here’s why: first, chemicals pricing is starting to stabilize after last year’s oversupply drama (that August crater lines up with a glut and weaker demand). DOW’s recent cost cutting moves should start showing up in margins maybe not massive, but enough to get noticed if demand stays steady from here. Also, cyclicals like this tend to catch a tailwind when the market thinks a soft landing is sticking, and right now there’s a lot less recession chatter than six months ago. Biggest risk is another surprise macro shock or if input costs spike again (energy prices especially). DOW isn’t exactly nimble, and one bad quarter could drag it right back to the 20s so this is not a set and forget play. The main thing I’m watching for is their next earnings. Anything that hints at better demand in Europe or Asia could be enough to get this moving toward my 39.50 target pretty quickly. If they guide down or talk about more plant shutdowns, I’ll be out in a hurry. Pretty decent risk/reward if you can stomach some chop.

Surprised by DOW's (Dow Inc.) rally lately, honestly. This thing spent almost half a year in the low 20s and even dipped below that last August, looked like pure dead money at that point. Then starting early this year, it basically doubled. That's some serious momentum, though I'm definitely not the only one side eyeing how sharp that climb has been from January to May. The last print was 40.58, which is wild compared to where it sat just a few months ago. I'm bullish here, but not crazy bullish. The speed of that recovery has to mean a little bit of FOMO and maybe a touch of overreaction from the market as people pile back into cyclical names. Still, DOW's margins have been improving and costs are way more under control now than they were during last year's pain. Plus, chemicals pricing looks like it's holding up better than expected, at least short term. Global demand hasn't totally fallen apart, which is what people were pricing in back in the fall. My target is 48.50 in the next 10 weeks. That's right around a 20 percent move from here. I think we get there if DOW can beat expectations on free cash flow in the next earnings or give a clear sign that buybacks are coming back in a bigger way. They're sitting on decent cash now, so it's not out of the question. That said, the risk is real: if the economy shows any new cracks or China's recovery stalls out, DOW can give a lot of these gains back fast. This is a cyclical stock and there's not much of a safety net if the macro backdrop sours again. But with sentiment shifting this quickly, I'll ride the wave for now and keep a close eye on those next earnings.
