RBC Capital Markets upgraded Dow Inc. (DOW) and LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) to Outperform, raising their price targets due to geopolitical disruptions in Iran tightening global polyethylene supply. Analysts believe these disruptions, coupled with already lean inventories, will lead to significant margin upside for both companies. While both stocks have already seen substantial year-to-date gains, the broader analyst consensus remains more cautious than RBC’s new targets suggests.
