The Dow Chemical Company Analyst Notes
On April 23, 2014, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) reported its Q1 2014 earnings results and surprised the street with better-than-expected increase in net income as cost-control actions boosted its EBITDA margins despite a more than $300 million increase in purchased feedstocks and energy.

The Company reported Q1 2014 net sales of $14.5 billion, up 0.5% YoY, helped by Performance Plastics, and Coatings and Infrastructure Solutions. The Company continued to exit the non-strategic businesses and plans to raise $4.5 billion-$6 billion from such asset sales by the end of 2015.
