The Dow Chemical Company (DOW)

CAPS Rating:
****

The company offers a innovative chemical, plastic and agricultural products and services to customers in more than 175 countries, helping them to provide everything from fresh water, food and pharmaceuticals to paints, packaging and personal care.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I'm not sure people realize the fundamental change that has occurred in DOW's business model.

DOW is a good stock. Just for these next few months the fallout from the 20% price hike and sluggish sales for next quarter will be bad. I expect light at the end of the year long tunnel, though.

They have pricing power, so I wouldn't worry about commodity inflation.

A company this diversified with all kinds of Chemical market niches is not going down anytime soon. It has international exposure and the fundamentals are extremely sound. A continual steady influence that should produce in the long run. I am not going to be able to persuade anyone with a pitch like this because I am not privy to any inside working of DOW, however I can recognize a good company when I see one.
