Analyst Note Fosters Doubts About Dow Inc Stock
Shares of the now-independent Dow Inc (NYSE:DOW) declined on Friday for the first time since the company was spun off . The Midland, Michigan-based manufacturer of chemicals saw its stock fall on a bearish initiation by an analyst. After Dow Inc stock rose for three straight days, investors may have had good reasons to doubt the shares.Source: Shutterstock But investors should remember that the initiation contrasts with the analyses of numerous others on the Street. And while it remains unclear how the bearish evaluation will affect DOW stock in the longer run, the note should remind investors to compare Dow Inc stock to its peers. The InitiationDow Inc stock fell by $2.47 per share to $57.24 per share on Friday, representing a 4.14% decline for the day. At that point, Dow stock had only traded four days since completing its spinoff from DowDuPont (NYSE:DWDP).InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Dow Jones Stocks Holding the Blue Chip Index Back Shares fell after JPMorgan analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas started Dow Inc stock with an "underweight" rating. He set a $49 price target on Dow Inc stock, which would represent a discount of around 12.5% from its current levels. The stock has now received a rating from 17 analysts, and Zekauskas became the first analyst to make a bearish call on DOW stock.In his report, he noted that DOW has a higher dividend than its peers. According to Zekauskas, DOW's 2019 dividend will be equal to 25% of its EBITDA. That implies a yield of about 4.7%. Dow's peers, LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE:LYB) and Westlake Chemical (NYSE:WLK), have lower yields, he wrote. Dow Inc Stock Trades at a Higher Multiple Than Its PeersIt remains unclear whether Dow Inc stock will fall to the $49-per-share level. Still, Zekaukas makes some important points in his report. The forward earnings multiple of Dow Inc stock, based on analysts' average 2019 EPS estimate, is 9.9. LYB stock trades at around 7.8 times its estimated forward earnings, while the forward PE of WLK stock stands at about 8.9.Moreover, Dow Inc stock has returned to trading as an independent company after briefly teaming up with DuPont. At this point, I think traders need more time to fully assess DOW stock. Dividend DangersTraders might overlook these concerns due to Dow's high dividend yield. Unfortunately, investors have good reason to hold doubts about the payout.DowDuPont slashed its dividends in 2017 and 2018 after increasing them annually for years. Conversely, after Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) and AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) broke up, they continued their decades-long tradition of yearly payout hikes. As a result , Dow Inc stock will not have a "dividend aristocrat" streak (meaning 25 or more years of annual dividend increases) that it can use to attract investors.For this reason, investors in the chemicals space might see better returns from LyondellBasell stock. LYB trades at a substantially lower forward PE ratio than Dow Inc stock. And despite the fact that LYB's 4.4% dividend yield is slightly lower than that of DOW, LYB has increased its annual payouts for seven straight years. So the outlook of LYB stock's dividends is more certain at this time. Concluding Thoughts on Dow Inc StockThe analyst's initiation has reminded investors to compare Dow Inc stock to its peers before buying DOW stock. But Zekauskas' bearish initiation goes against the grain. For this reason, investors should not simply assume that DOW will fall to $49 per share.However, the analyst argument that DOW may not compare well to its peers is solid. Moreover, DOW stock has only traded for a few days since it again became an independent company. Investors may need more time to develop a deeper understanding of DOW stock before buying the shares. Until the path pf Dow Inc stock becomes clearer, investors should probably look to other equities in the chemicals space.As of this writing, Will Healy did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.

Dow's stock falls after J.P. Morgan takes 1st bearish stance
Shares of Dow Inc. fell 0.9% in premarket trade Friday, after J.P. Morgan analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas took a bearish stance on the newly-independent materials science company citing relative valuation concerns. Zekauskas initiated coverage with an underweight rating and stock price target of $49, which is 18% below Thursday's closing price of $59.71, which makes him the only analyst of the 17 covering the company that is bearish, according to FactSet. Dow, which was spun off from DowDuPont Inc. and became a Dow Jones Industrial Average component this week. Zekauskas said he believes Dow trades at a premium to its peers, which he sees as LyondellBasel Industries N.V. and Westlake Chemical Corp. , because of its larger dividend. "We do not believe that that Dow would maintain its multiple premium versus other North American petrochemical companies were the possibility of a recession meaningful," Zekauskas wrote in a note to clients. "The risk to the Dow share price is, for this reason, larger than that of the price risk of the other petrochemical companies as Dow could well lose the dividend premium it receives currently."
