Action:ReiteratedDate:02/11/26
DD’s score is held back most by weakened 2025 financial performance and sharply lower cash generation, despite a strengthening balance sheet. Offsetting this, price action is strong (uptrend across moving averages with positive momentum), and the latest earnings call provided supportive 2026 growth and margin-expansion guidance. Valuation is less supportive due to the negative P/E, with only modest help from the dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong Financial Performance
The 6% organic growth in sales and EBITDA increase demonstrate DuPont's ability to expand its market presence and operational efficiency, supporting long-term growth.
Successful Qnity Separation
The Qnity separation allows DuPont to focus on core operations, potentially enhancing agility and strategic focus, which can lead to improved competitive positioning.
Improved Guidance and Capital Allocation
Raising earnings guidance and a significant share repurchase plan indicate confidence in future performance and commitment to delivering shareholder value.
Negative Factors
Declining Revenue Growth
Declining revenue growth poses a risk to DuPont's ability to sustain its market position and profitability, necessitating strategic initiatives to reverse the trend.
Higher Tax Rate Impact on EPS
Higher tax rates can reduce net income and earnings per share, impacting DuPont's profitability and shareholder returns over the medium term.
Challenges in Construction Markets
Weakness in construction markets can hinder growth in DuPont's diversified industrial segment, affecting overall revenue and market expansion efforts.

DuPont de Nemours Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 10, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 05, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a constructive tone: management reported a year of operational progress with organic growth, EBITDA and margin expansion, stronger EPS, robust new-product contribution, and disciplined capital allocation. The company beat guidance for the quarter and set a clear 2026 outlook (3% organic growth, margin expansion, and stronger EPS) supported by productivity programs and innovation. Offsetting items include continued weakness in parts of Diversified Industrials (notably building/shelter and some industrial end markets), Asia/China softness in water, and a temporary order-timing headwind. Overall, positives (top-line momentum, margin gains, innovation driving $2B of sales, strong cash conversion and shareholder-friendly actions) outweigh the contained regional and segment headwinds.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Full-Year Organic Sales Growth
Full year 2025 organic sales grew 2% year-over-year, showing recovery and momentum heading into 2026.
Operating EBITDA Growth and Margin Expansion (FY2025)
Operating EBITDA grew 6% for full year 2025 with margin expansion of 100 basis points versus prior year, driven by operational discipline, mix, and productivity.
Adjusted EPS Improvement (FY2025)
Adjusted EPS for full year 2025 was $1.68 per share, up 16% year-over-year.
Quarterly Results – Q4 2025
Q4 net sales were $1.7 billion (about flat versus prior year); operating EBITDA for the quarter was $409 million, up 4% year-over-year, and operating EBITDA margin improved to 24.2% (up 80 basis points). Adjusted EPS for Q4 was $0.46, up 18% year-over-year.
Healthcare & Water Segment Strength
Healthcare & Water Q4 net sales were $821 million, up 4% year-over-year (3% organic; adjusting for order timing headwinds organic was ~5%). Q4 operating EBITDA for the segment was $255 million, up 4% year-over-year; segment margin was 31.1% (flat vs. prior year). Management expects mid-single-digit organic growth for this segment in 2026.
Diversified Industrials Margin Improvement
Despite revenue pressure, Diversified Industrials delivered Q4 operating EBITDA of $197 million (up 2% YoY) and a margin of 22.6%, up 110 basis points year-over-year driven by favorable mix and productivity.
Innovation and New Product Contribution
Launched more than 125 new products in 2025; new products generated over $2 billion in sales and the vitality index remained strong at ~30% (management noted these new products contributed higher-than-average margins).
Strong Cash Generation and Capital Actions
Free cash flow generation described as strong; 2026 free cash flow conversion expected to be greater than 90%. Company executed a $500 million ASR in 2025, has a $2 billion share repurchase authorization, and expects net proceeds of roughly $1.0 billion (post-tax) from the Aramis divestiture closing around end of Q1 2026.
2026 Financial Guidance and Targets
2026 guidance aligned with medium-term targets: ~3% organic sales growth, operating margin expansion of 60–80 basis points, operating EBITDA ~ $1.74 billion (6–8% YoY increase), adjusted EPS $2.25–$2.30 (midpoint implies ~35% reported YoY increase and ~11% pro forma), and continued focus on productivity and commercial/operational excellence.
Negative Updates
Diversified Industrials Organic Revenue Decline
Diversified Industrials net sales declined 3% in Q4 versus prior year (4% organic decline; adjusting for a ~$15 million order timing headwind organic decline was ~2%). Building Technologies was down high single digits and Industrial Technologies down low single digits.
Shelter / Building Technologies Weakness
Shelter (part of Building Technologies) was down about mid-single digits in 2025. Management expects the business to start 2026 slightly negative and to moderate to flat for the full year (implying a slow cadence to recovery).
Asia Pacific / China Softness
Asia Pacific organic sales were down 2% in Q4. China activity is weaker in water due to reduced industrial production; management expects China water to start low single digits and ramp into the back half to reach mid-single-digit global water growth for 2026.
Order Timing and System Cutover Headwinds
Q4 experienced order timing shifts related to system cutover and the electronic separation, causing an approximate $30 million (about 2% of quarterly organic sales) headwind that shifted orders into Q3; roughly $15 million of that impacted each reportable segment.
Regional and End-Market Pressure
Automotive demand is expected to be about flat in 2026 with weakness in the U.S. and Europe (offset by faster EV builds). Construction markets remained weak in 2025 and are expected to stabilize with flattish demand overall in 2026, pressuring Building Technologies.
Near-Term Shelter and Residential Exposure
Residential end markets (residential construction) are expected to be down low-to-mid single digits in 2026, which contributes to pressure in parts of the Building Technologies line of business.
Company Guidance
DuPont's 2026 guidance calls for net sales of about $7.1 billion (roughly 3% organic growth and ~1% currency benefit), operating EBITDA of about $1.74 billion (up ~6–8% YoY) with 60–80 basis points of margin expansion, and adjusted EPS of $2.25–$2.30 per share (midpoint implying ~35% reported growth and ~11% pro forma growth); first‑quarter guidance is net sales ≈$1.67 billion (≈2% organic, ~2% currency), operating EBITDA ≈$395 million (≈10% YoY increase) and adjusted EPS ≈$0.48. Management expects free cash flow conversion >90%, healthcare & water organic growth in the mid‑single‑digit range, diversified industrials low‑single‑digit growth (building ~flat), continued productivity-driven margin gains (including at least ~20 bps from productivity in 2026), and ongoing capital deployment via a $2.0 billion repurchase authorization (with a $500 million ASR executed) alongside targeted M&A.

DuPont de Nemours Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are mixed: the balance sheet is solid and de-levering (debt-to-equity down to ~0.23), but 2025 operating performance weakened sharply (revenue -45.2% YoY with net margin ~1.4%), and cash generation compressed materially (free cash flow down ~82% YoY).
Income Statement
46
Neutral
Profitability has weakened meaningfully in the most recent year: 2025 revenue fell sharply (-45.2% YoY) and net margin compressed to ~1.4% versus ~5.7% in 2024. While 2023–2024 showed steadier operating performance (EBITDA margin ~17–22%), results are volatile over the cycle, including a large loss in 2020 and unusually high net margins in 2021–2022 that look non-recurring relative to later years. Overall, the earnings profile is currently pressured and less consistent than typical for a high-scoring specialty chemicals name.
Balance Sheet
72
Positive
Leverage looks manageable and improving: debt-to-equity declined from ~0.42 (2020–2021) to ~0.23 in 2025, supported by sizable equity ($13.9B in 2025). Total debt also stepped down materially versus 2021–2024. The key weakness is low recent returns—return on equity is modest in 2024 (~3.0%) and very low in 2025 (~0.7%), indicating the balance sheet is solid but current profitability is not earning a strong return on capital.
Cash Flow
52
Neutral
Cash generation has deteriorated alongside earnings: operating cash flow fell to $0.56B in 2025 from $1.85B in 2024, and free cash flow dropped to $0.23B (down ~82% YoY). Free cash flow covers only ~41% of net income in 2025 (and ~69% in 2024), and there was also a negative free-cash-flow year in 2022. Positives include generally positive free cash flow in most years and very strong conversion in 2020–2021, but the recent downshift reduces confidence in near-term cash capacity.
