Dow Chemical misses forecast
DOW Chemical narrowly missed Wall Street’s quarterly profit expectations yesterday as cost increases and economic worries dented demand in Europe and North America.
Dow reported net income of $815m (£506m), or 69 cents per share, compared with $512m, or 45 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Revenue rose 17 per cent to $15.11bn.
