Dow to sell 40% stake in some US Gulf Coast infrastructure assets for $2.4 billion
Shares of Dow were up about 5% at $44.14 in premarket trading after the company said it would receive up to about $3 billion in cash proceeds if Macquarie decides to increase its equity share to 49% within six months of closing the deal. Dow said the transaction was part of its actions to evaluate its ownership of non-product producing assets across its global portfolio, including power and steam production and pipelines.
