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 Inc. Initiated at Underweight With $49 Price Target at JPMorgan
closed down 4.14% to $57.24 Friday, after JPMorgan initiated coverage of the materials science company with an underweight rating and a target price of $49. Zekauskas said he believes the market has yet to see the low point of domestic ethylene and polyethylene margins for 2019-2020, and adds that Dow's earnings and trading multiples are sensitive to oil prices. "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," he said.

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."

3 Big Stock Charts for Friday: Freeport-McMoRan, Morgan Stanley and Hartford Financial Services Group
It was another win for the market yesterday, but just barely. The S&P 500 edged 0.21% higher, still struggling with the weight of the impressive gains seen since late December.Dow (NYSE:DOW) led the way, gaining another 5% as investors continue to celebrate its split with DowDuPont (NYSE:DWDP). At the other end of the spectrum, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell more than 8% following a first-quarter delivery report that was shockingly lower than its fourth quarter figures.Headed into the final trading day of the week, it's the stock charts of Hartford Financial Services Group (NYSE:HIG), Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) that are of the most interest.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Morgan Stanley (MS)In mid-March, Morgan Stanley shares had proven they were range-bound. Although the bulls had proven they were willing to take their shot, they hadn't proven that could actually get MS stock over the proverbial hump. On the other hand, at least Morgan Stanley stock was finding support in all the right places, remaining in the hunt for yet another breakout effort. * 7 Biometric Stocks to Watch as AI Rises The effort the buyers made on Thursday has pushed MS shares just a hair above a nagging resistance line and is challenging another one. One more good day could do the trick, although realistically speaking, Morgan Stanley will still likely need to fall back again before putting in the breakout effort that takes hold once and for all. Click to Enlarge • The technical ceiling that has been cleared is the $45 area, where MS peaked in January and again in March. It's plotted in yellow on both stock charts.• Shares of Morgan Stanley are also testing the white 200-day moving average line, but clearly paused there when put to the test.• Although momentum has actually been building for weeks, between Wednesday's opening gap (highlighted on the daily chart) and waning volume on the way up, the bulls may need to slide back first and fill in that gap before punching through the big ceiling. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)The last time we looked at Freeport-McMoRan back on March 21, it had just pushed off of support offered by its 50-day moving average as part of the bigger-picture rebound effort that began in January. At the time, however, it wasn't above the more pivotal line in the sand.That's happened in the meantime. While it took some time and work, Thursday's session cleared a huge technical hurdle. Click to Enlarge• That ceiling was the 200-day moving average line, plotted in white on both stock charts. It was resistance in February, but was unable to hold the buyers back this time around.• Bolstering the bullish case are not one but two instances of support at the purple 50-day moving average line. Each is highlighted on the daily chart.• Zooming out to the weekly chart, we can clearly see the downtrend that shaped most of 2018's selling, framed by blue lines, has been broken, yielding to a new, bullish trading range plotted by red lines on the same chart. Hartford Financial Services Group (HIG)Like most other names, Hartford Financial Services Group enjoyed a fantastic January and February, erasing a miserable October through December. But also like most stocks, HIG stock has been stagnant since March, mostly moving sideways.That has changed this week though, and decisively so on Thursday. Shares are up and over a pretty big technical hurdle, and they've cleared it with some compelling underpinnings. Click to Enlarge • The hurdle in question is $49.70, plotted in yellow on both stock charts. That level had been resistance a few times over the past few weeks, but yesterday's close of $50 puts in in the rearview mirror.• Zooming out to the weekly chart we can see the $49.70 area has been a ceiling before, as well as support.• The clincher is the "golden cross" plotted on the daily chart. That's where the purple 50-day moving average line has crossed back above the white 200-day moving average, hinting at a new bullish uptrend.As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
