Hopefully the resulting layoffs will reduce some bridge traffic in BR

Stock down over 50% in the last year. This is why you diversify out of company stock if you are an employee.

I can’t help but wonder if all the new CC ETF’s will fatally depress the traditional dividend stocks. A couple years ago I’d be fascinated by any battered stock with a 5%+ dividend.
2022 loved T, MO, & F…2025 me isn’t messing with DOW when QQQI or SPYI offers 10-15%.

My father retired from Dow chemicals. He was with Union Carbide for 25 yrs.

Here. Almost always sell immediately at vesting.

I bought $6300 worth at $25. You can make money on DOW at $25. I think it hits $40 again in 4-6 months.

One reason they cited for the dividend cut was increased exports from Chinese manufacturers. That's a bit concerning for their long-term outlook, no?

Down to 23.50. Think its bottomed out?

trying to catch the falling knife is risky. I have been burned before.

You can make even more money on DOW at $22!

I don’t really understand the chemical industry all that well. What is it that is hurting this market so much. As noted, DOW has struggled, BASF is not doing well, and I think I’ve read that Shell’s chemical plants aren’t doing well.

At $22 it does seem like a bargain, as it was twice that price in 2019.
If it wasn’t for my current heartbreak looking at UPS wondering if today’s 52 week low might actually be next year’s 52 week high, I’d be ready to make the gamble.

3% max of a single stock as percentage of total portfolio is ‘rule’ I follow.

I don't understand the sector that much either, though I am involved in helping support some of its needs from time to time.
Best understanding I have of the financials is the profit margins are extremely thin, especially compared to upstream and midstream oil & gas. However, it's also a fairly consistent cashflow, unlike O&G. Doesn't have the large upswings and downswings.
Seems there's still a ton of demand for plastics and chlorine products these days, at least from my simplistic viewpoint of more good using plastics being sold and more swimming pools at residential homes than past decades and a greater need for purifying drinking water.
But again, that's probably a very simplistic man's view of product demand.

Per the CEO, he does not expect to see any change in the economics in 2026.

So if you have a stock that is high performing, you still use the 3% rule ?
