DuPont Raises Full-Year Forecast After First-Quarter Beat, Plans $275 Million Buyback
DuPont de Nemours raised its full-year 2026 guidance after first-quarter results beat estimates and the company said it plans a $275 million accelerated share repurchase. Adjusted earnings were 55 cents a share on net sales of $1.68 billion, ahead of expectations for 48 cents and $1.66 billion.
DuPont now expects full-year net sales of $7.16 billion to $7.22 billion and adjusted earnings of $2.35 to $2.40 a share, up from prior ranges of $7.08 billion to $7.14 billion and $2.25 to $2.30. For the second quarter, it forecast adjusted EPS of about 59 cents and operating EBITDA of about $430 million, while saying the higher outlook reflects price increases taken in the wake of the US-Iran conflict.
