Shares of DuPont rose 1.2% on Nov. 6, 2025, after the company exceeded its Q3 2025 guidance, reporting net sales of $3.1 billion, operating EBITDA of $840 million, and adjusted EPS of $1.09. Investor sentiment was further boosted by DuPont raising its full-year 2025 operating EBITDA guidance to ~$1.6 billion and announcing strong cash generation, including $576 million in transaction-adjusted free cash flow for the quarter.
For the fiscal year that ended in December 2025, analysts expect DD's adjusted EPS to decline 59% year-over-year to $1.67. However, the company's earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.
