DuPont de Nemours (DD) is a provider of advanced solutions for healthcare, water, construction and industry, which after the 2025-2026 separations has focused on two segments: Healthcare & Water Technologies and Diversified Industrials. In the second quarter of 2026 net sales were 1.8 billion USD, with organic growth of 4%, and the company raised its 2026 guidance. For readers following the company, the key question is how durable organic growth will be if the pace in healthcare and industrial markets holds.

E/P over time

E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.

Today's P/E sits at the 76 percentile of its own 25-quarter history (min 7.1, median 30.8, max 521.7; quarters with earnings only).

Memo

DUPONT DE NEMOURS, INC. (DD). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-09-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 6.8 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth 1.9%; net margin 4.3%; ROE 1.7%.

The estimated value range is 44.90–72.95 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 47.54 USD, the price of 144.93 USD leaves a potential of -67.2% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -204.8% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (indicators available: 5 of at least 6; score weight coverage: 35.4% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • Current ratio: 2.4x

What contradicts it

  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: -19.3%
  • P/E (TTM): 70.7x
  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 1.7%
  • The price is above the estimated value range

In brief

DuPont de Nemours (DD) is a provider of advanced solutions for healthcare, water, construction and industry, which after the 2025-2026 separations has focused on two segments: Healthcare & Water Technologies and Diversified Industrials. In the second quarter of 2026 net sales were 1.8 billion USD 3, with organic growth of 4% 3, and the company raised its 2026 guidance. For readers following the company, the key question is how durable organic growth will be if the pace in healthcare and industrial markets holds.

SWOT

Strengths

  • A portfolio focused on healthcare, water and construction, with consistent organic growth in recent quarters and expanding margins 3.
  • Solid liquidity, with working capital and cash available after divestitures and the Qnity separation 2.
  • A broad patent estate and well-known brands, including in medical packaging and construction materials 1.

Weaknesses

  • The company has gone through a complex transformation with many divestitures, which makes historical comparisons difficult 1.
  • Water segment sales were weak in some regions, such as the Middle East 3.
  • Dependence on raw material and energy costs can affect margins when prices rise 1.

Opportunities

  • Demand in healthcare and aerospace could support long-term growth if the trend continues 3.
  • Recent acquisitions in water and healthcare could add revenue if integration succeeds 1.
  • Tariff refunds could add resources if the process continues without major challenges 2.

Threats

  • The Middle East conflict could disrupt logistics and supply chains if it lasts 2.
  • The outcome of tariff appeals could change the refunds expected 2.
  • Inherited tax and environmental liabilities from separations could affect cash flows if partners cannot cover them 1.

Risks

  • Tax liabilities from separationshigh

    If the Qnity separation does not qualify for tax-free treatment, the company could face significant tax obligations 1.

  • Liabilities allocated to Dow and Cortevahigh

    The company could be held responsible for liabilities allocated to other entities if those parties cannot honour their indemnities 1.

  • PFAS and environmental liabilitieshigh

    PFAS remediation costs are hard to estimate, and current assumptions could be exceeded if circumstances change 1.

  • Geopolitical uncertaintymedium

    The Middle East conflict could affect sales and logistics, depending on its duration and government measures 2.

  • Raw material and energy costsmedium

    Raw material and energy prices depend on global demand and supply chain disruptions 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • Organic growth stayed positive in the second quarter of 2026 and margins expanded, supporting the case for consistent execution 3.
  • 2026 guidance was raised, and if growth in healthcare and aerospace holds, results could exceed expectations 3.
  • The company has solid liquidity and generates free cash flow, giving it flexibility for dividends and buybacks 23.

What would break the thesis

  • The company still carries tax and environmental liabilities from separations, and amounts could be significant if partners cannot pay 1.
  • Water segment sales were weak in the Middle East, and continued conflict in the region could keep affecting results 23.
  • Organic growth of 4% is moderate, and if construction demand weakens, Diversified Industrials could slow 3.

What to watch

  • Completion and effects of the Aramids divestiture on continuing resultsQ3 2026
  • Pace of organic growth in the Healthcare & Water Technologies segmentQ3 2026
  • Delivery of the raised 2026 guidance, with operating EBITDA around 1.76 billion USD2026

The business

Reporting was restructured in the fourth quarter of 2025 into two new segments, with financial statements recast for all periods shown 1. Healthcare & Water Technologies covers medical packaging, device components, and water filtration and purification. Diversified Industrials covers building technologies and industrial solutions such as adhesives and aerospace and automotive applications 1.

Market context

The company operates in fragmented markets where competition comes from multinational groups with large research and sales capabilities as well as established regional companies 1. Raw material and energy costs are driven by global supply and demand, and supply chains were affected in recent years 1.

Trends

  • Organic growth in healthcare and aerospacetailwind

    Company-level organic growth of 4% in the second quarter of 2026 was supported by healthcare and aerospace 3. If this dynamic holds, it could support the raised guidance.

  • Middle East weaknessheadwind

    The military conflict that began in February 2026 added geopolitical uncertainty, and sales in the Middle East were weak in the water segment 23. The impact depends on the conflict's duration and disruption to global logistics 2.

  • IEEPA tariffs and refundsmixed

    The US Supreme Court invalidated certain IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, and the company began receiving refunds with no material impact on continuing results through June 30, 2026 2. The ruling can still be appealed, and its final outcome could affect future results 2.

  • Dividends and buybacksmixed

    The board declared a 0.60 USD per share dividend for the third quarter of 2026, and the company intends to repurchase 250 million USD of shares in the same quarter 23. Continuity of these decisions depends on board approvals.
