The solvency ratios of Dow Inc indicate its ability to meet its long-term obligations and serve as a measure of financial risk. The debt-to-assets ratio has shown a slight increase over the past five years, reaching 0.26 in 2023. This suggests that the company's reliance on debt to finance its assets has marginally grown. The debt-to-capital ratio has also exhibited a similar trend, rising to 0.45 in 2023. This indicates that a higher proportion of the company's capital is derived from debt.

The debt-to-equity ratio, depicting the extent to which debt is used to finance the company's operations in relation to equity, has shown fluctuations but has remained relatively high, standing at 0.81 in 2023. This indicates a greater reliance on debt financing compared to equity. The financial leverage ratio, reflecting the company's use of debt to finance its assets, has exhibited a decreasing trend, suggesting a reduction in the extent of assets financed by debt.

Overall, while the company's solvency ratios demonstrate some fluctuation, they generally indicate a moderate level of financial risk, with a notable reliance on debt to finance its operations and assets. This signifies the importance of monitoring the company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its debt obligations in the long term.
