Lately, enough top-performing CAPS members have turned bullish on Dow Chemical
Many investors appreciate Dow's global diversity; like other companies such as United Parcel Service
Dow is paying a hefty 74% premium for Rohm, but figures the merged company will help it better face main competitor DuPont
Dow's revenue rose 24% in the second quarter, but rising energy and raw materials costs are eating into profits. But CAPS investors are even more bullish now. Maybe it's the fact that Dow plans to raise prices and institute freight surcharges to offset rising costs. Or it could be the juicy 4.9% dividend yield coupled with a forward P/E of 11.7. Either way, nearly 94% of CAPS members rating Dow Chemical expect it to outperform the market into the future.
To see what the very best CAPS analysts are saying now about Dow Chemical -- as well as other winning stocks they are picking -- head on over to CAPS and have a look. It's free and easy.
