Dow reported second-quarter 2025 revenue of $10.1 billion, slightly below the consensus estimate of $10.24 billion and down 7% from the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter was $801 million, widening from a $290 million loss in the previous quarter and a $458 million profit a year earlier.

Dow’s largest division, Packaging & Specialty Plastics, recorded $5.03 billion in sales, a 9% year-over-year decline, primarily due to weaker downstream polymer pricing and lower merchant ethylene sales following the startup of the Poly-7 facility in the U.S. Gulf Coast. The segment’s operating income dropped to $71 million from $703 million a year ago.

In the Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure segment, revenue declined 6% to $2.79 billion, with an operating loss of $185 million, reflecting lower prices and higher maintenance costs. Performance Materials & Coatings reported a 5% decline in sales to $2.13 billion, although operating income rose to $152 million, up from $146 million, aided by lower input costs and seasonal demand for coatings and silicones.
