Did DD Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
DuPont de Nemours posted a stronger-than-expected first quarter for 2026, with adjusted EPS of $0.55 beating the $0.48 consensus estimate by 13.57% and revenue of $1.68 billion edging past the $1.66 billion forecast by 0.97%. The reported revenue decline of 45.2% year-over-year reflects the significant portfolio transformation underway at DuPont, most notably the November 2025 separation of its Electronics Business into independent public company Qnity and the April 2026 completion of the Aramids divestiture for roughly $1.20 billion in pre-tax cash proceeds. Stripping out those divestitures, net sales actually grew 4% year-over-year, with operating EBITDA climbing 15% to $414.00 million and margins expanding 230 basis points to 24.6%, driven by Healthcare Technologies strength in medical packaging and biopharma. Investors watching DuPont's pivot toward higher-margin specialty materials have taken note of the reshaping strategy. Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to adjusted EPS of $2.35 to $2.40 on net sales of $7.16 billion to $7.22 billion, while guiding Q2 adjusted EPS to approximately $0.59.
- Organic growth of 2% with 4% total net sales increase including 2% currency benefit
- Operating EBITDA margin expansion of 230 basis points to 24.6%
- Adjusted EPS growth of 53% year-over-year driven by higher segment earnings, lower interest expense, lower corporate costs and tax rate
- Healthcare Technologies up high-single digits organically led by medical packaging and biopharma
- Industrial Technologies up low-single digits on aerospace and automotive strength
- Favorable mix and productivity improvements across both segments
“We delivered a strong start to the year, exceeding our financial guidance through disciplined commercial and operational execution. Our teams remained focused on our customers and delivered organic growth, margin expansion, and double-digit adjusted EPS growth, along with solid cash flow generation in the quarter.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
DuPont raised its full year 2026 guidance. For Q2 2026, the company estimates net sales of approximately $1.8 billion, operating EBITDA of approximately $430 million, and adjusted EPS of approximately $0.59, with organic sales growth of about 3% and currency a slight tailwind. For full year 2026, guidance was raised to net sales of $7,155-$7,215 million, operating EBITDA of $1,730-$1,760 million, and adjusted EPS of $2.35-$2.40. Full-year net sales guidance assumes about 4% organic growth including about 1% of pricing to offset higher input costs related to the Middle East conflict, plus interest income benefits from the Aramids transaction.
