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.
Key Takeaways
- • 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
DD 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.
