Dow names Karen Carter CEO amid volatile market

Watch: Watch Dow's Q2 earnings and impact of oil price volatility on costs and margins amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions.

Full analysis

Dow appointed Karen Carter as CEO on April 14, 2026, with outgoing CEO Fitterling shifting to long-term strategy. Insider buying is strong, with four insiders purchasing $1.64M in shares. Despite a 38.9% one-year stock gain and trading above moving averages, Dow faces challenges: a $461M operating EBIT drop and an oil-driven volatile market environment pushing crude prices above $100 per barrel.

Strong insider buys amid market volatility signal confidence in management despite declining operating earnings and geopolitical risks shaking investor sentiment.
