Dow has tried to revamp its earnings profile over the past two years, first by announcing plans to sell a 50- per-cent stake in its cyclical basic plastics business to Kuwaiti investors for more than $9 billion. Then, in July, it announced plans to spend more than $15 billion to acquire Rohm and Haas using proceeds from the joint venture.1 t& q$ u* c& V
