<p>位於密歇根的陶氏公司（Dow Inc.）週四宣佈，將裁員 1,500 人，作為其 10 億美元成本削減計劃的一部分，原因是需求疲軟和利潤壓力。此公告導致陶氏股價在早盤交易中下跌 6.3%。</p>
<p>與行業大部分公司一樣，這家化工巨頭正面臨不斷上升的原材料成本和疲弱的定價能力，尤其是在歐洲，監管挑戰迫使公司重新考慮其戰略。</p>
<h2>聚焦歐洲和亞洲</h2>
<p>該公司計劃在全球範圍內實施裁員，重點關注歐洲和亞洲。</p>
<p>除了裁員外，陶氏預計通過精簡開支，今年將節省 3 億至 5 億美元。</p>
<p>該公司還對當前季度的銷售預測感到失望，預計收入為 103 億美元，低於華爾街預期的 107.8 億美元，依據 LSEG 數據。</p>

<p>陶氏最大的收入來源——包裝和特種塑料部門，季度淨銷售額下降 5.8%，降至 53.2 億美元，較去年同期下降。儘管包裝產品的需求依然強勁，但價格下跌抵消了這些收益。</p>
<h2>陶氏對聚乙烯需求持樂觀態度</h2>
<p>儘管面臨這些挑戰，陶氏對北美聚乙烯需求的增長持樂觀態度，聚乙烯是包裝材料的關鍵組成部分。該公司還在積極審查其歐洲業務，並預計將在 2025 年中期提供更新。</p>
<p>在收益方面，陶氏報告第四季度調整後的每股收益（EPS）持平，未達到分析師預期的每股 24 美分。</p>
<p>為了應對嚴峻的市場環境，陶氏宣佈計劃在第二季度停產其一座歐洲乙烯裂解裝置，待市場條件改善後恢復運營。</p>
<p>陶氏的成本削減策略突顯了化工行業面臨的日益嚴峻的壓力，全球需求疲軟、成本上升和監管挑戰對增長造成了影響。儘管公司希望穩定其利潤，但由於經濟不確定性持續，投資者仍然保持謹慎。</p>
