Citi rates DOW as Buy, High Risk (1) - After a chat with management post the company's recent downgrade, the broker is fairly confident that the company's core business is tracking well.

Target price is $7.35 Current Price is $4.68 Difference: $2.67 If DOW meets the Citi target it will return approximately 57% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
