, /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) team has been named a "Sustainability Squad" in the Business Intelligence Group's 2026 Sustainability Awards.

"This recognition reflects the dedication of our global team working with the support of our collaborators across the industry to help bring DuPont's direct lithium extraction technologies to market," said Dr. Martin Deetz, Senior R&D Laureate, DuPont Water Solutions. "By combining lithium-selective sorbents, membranes, ion exchange resins, and technical expertise into a full end-to-end approach, we are helping customers optimize the entire lithium extraction process while addressing the unique challenges of lithium brine resources around the world. We're proud to see our team recognized for its contribution to the global energy transition."

As demand for lithium continues to grow, producers are seeking technologies that can efficiently recover lithium from a wide range of brine resources. Through its integrated DLE portfolio and technical expertise, DuPont helps customers evaluate, validate, and implement solutions designed for their specific process requirements, supporting the development of the lithium supply chains needed for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

FMP Stock News
Original source text
Recognition highlights breakthrough membrane technology providing ultra-high brine concentration, water reuse, and resource recovery while reducing energy-intensive treatment requirements.

, /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that its DuPont™ FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC220 element has been named a Sustainability Product of the Year by the Business Intelligence Group for its contribution to advancing industrial water reuse, resource recovery, and more sustainable Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) operations.

The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC220 element is a high-pressure reverse osmosis solution designed to help industrial operators maximize water recovery and increase brine concentration to levels of up to 220 g/L NaCl, extending membrane-based treatment further into applications traditionally reliant on energy-intensive thermal processes.

"This recognition reflects DuPont's commitment to developing innovative technologies that help customers address some of the world's most pressing water challenges," said Karla Butler, Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC220 element can enable customers to recover more water, reduce liquid waste, and unlock new opportunities for resource recovery while improving overall process efficiency."

As industries face increasing pressure from water scarcity, tightening discharge regulations, and rising management costs, the FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC220 element helps advance a more efficient approach to industrial water management. By enabling brine concentrations of up to 220 g/L NaCl, the technology allows operators to maximize water recovery, unlock new opportunities for selective salt recovery, and reduce liquid waste volumes for final downstream treatment. The element is designed to push the membrane-based treatment into concentration ranges that have traditionally required energy-intensive thermal processes, helping lower overall treatment costs and energy consumption in selected MLD and ZLD applications.

Launched in April 2026 as part of DuPont's expanded FilmTec™ Fortilife™ brand portfolio, this element was developed to help industrial users improve water circularity while optimizing operating efficiency in sectors ranging from mining, petrochemical, automobile, textile, and power generation to lithium extraction and advanced manufacturing.

DuPont Water Solutions technologies are helping to purify more than 50 million gallons of water every minute in 112 countries across the world.

Adjusted earnings of $1.88 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.76. Revenues of $1.819 billion marginally beat the consensus mark of $1.818 billion.

The call centered on execution, with management linking growth and margins to pricing, productivity, commercial improvements and 80/20 simplification.

DD Raises Its 2026 OutlookCFO Antonella Franzen raised the midpoint of full-year adjusted earnings guidance to $7.24 per share and operating EBITDA guidance to $1.76 billion. Organic sales growth is now expected to be slightly above 4%.

For the second half, Franzen projected about 6% organic growth, supported by healthcare, industrial water, aerospace and implemented pricing. She expects roughly 40% incremental margins after adjusting for price-cost effects.

The outlook assumes $90 million of pricing to remain price-cost neutral, while oil-and-gas inflation creates a 50-basis-point second-half margin headwind.

Third-quarter guidance calls for $1.835 billion in sales, $448 million in operating EBITDA and adjusted earnings of $1.80 to $1.90 per share. Currency is expected to reduce growth by about one percentage point.

DuPont Connects Growth and ExecutionCEO Lori Koch described one operating system linking innovation, commercial excellence, operational excellence and 80/20. DuPont is using it to prioritize higher-value opportunities and scale successful practices.

Koch said that the innovation vitality index is about 35%, with greater emphasis shifting toward growth products. Launches include direct lithium extraction solutions, expanded biopharma offerings and products for electric vehicles and battery storage.

A Morgan Stanley analyst asked about AI-enabled selling. Koch said AI cut sales-play preparation to four weeks, while the commercial organization drove a roughly 30% win rate and $5 million to $6 million in incremental garment sales.

DD Sees Water Timing, Not Structural WeaknessGoldman Sachs and Mizuho analysts focused on Middle East water-project delays. Koch said that projects remain booked but have shifted, with more revenues expected in the fourth quarter than the third.

Water organic sales grew at a low-single-digit rate, but increased at a mid-single-digit pace outside the Middle East. Koch said that the region represents about 10% of Water sales.

DuPont now expects low-to-mid-single-digit Water growth for 2026 and high-single-digit growth in the second half. Stronger Healthcare demand is offsetting the revision and preserving the segment’s overall growth profile.

DuPont Sets Higher Productivity GoalsA Melius Research analyst asked how quickly DuPont can reach its productivity target. Koch aims to reduce cost of goods sold by 3% annually on a net basis, with that run rate achievable within 18 months.

The quarter delivered about 200 basis points of COGS reduction, contributing roughly 100 basis points to margin expansion. Koch also put cost of poor quality near 4% of sales, below a benchmark of about 5%.

The 80/20 program should add a few million dollars of EBITDA in the second half through simplification, yield improvement and better resource allocation. Koch said it should not create a material top-line headwind.

DD Pairs Buybacks With M&A CapacityDuPont plans a $250 million third-quarter share repurchase after transaction-adjusted free cash flow conversion reached 127% in the quarter.

Franzen said full-year conversion should finish much closer to 100% than the prior 90% target. Improvements in receivables, payables and inventory supported the cash result.

A Wolfe Research analyst asked about acquisitions. Koch said that DuPont has well over $1 billion available and is evaluating Water and Healthcare targets, including packaging and contract development and manufacturing opportunities, while maintaining return discipline.

DuPont Stays Focused on Repeatable ExecutionKoch’s message was that growth initiatives, productivity and portfolio focus are becoming repeatable operating disciplines. Franzen paired that posture with higher guidance and continued underlying margin momentum.

The second-half plan still depends on pricing realization, project timing and strength in healthcare, industrial water and aerospace. Management remained confident while acknowledging those execution requirements.

What DD’s Zacks Signals SayDD carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. Its Momentum Score of A indicates favorable momentum characteristics, but the Value Score of D, Growth Score of F and VGM Score of F show weaker readings across valuation, growth and the combined style profile. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Zacks Style Score complements the Zacks Rank, with A and B scores preferred. DD’s mix presents a neutral and uneven near-term signal, and the Zacks Rank can change as analysts revise earnings estimates following the reported results.

DuPont de Nemours Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Kohl's Stock Soars After Better-Than-Feared QuarterDuPont de Nemours NYSE: DD raised its full-year 2026 outlook after reporting second-quarter results that exceeded its prior guidance, supported by organic growth, productivity gains and cash-flow generation.

Chief Executive Officer Lori Koch said the company delivered 4% organic sales growth, 80 basis points of margin expansion and double-digit adjusted earnings-per-share growth during the quarter. DuPont also plans to begin a $250 million share-repurchase program in the third quarter.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 05/18 - 05/22The company completed its previously announced reverse stock split in June, and its GICS classification changed to industrial in July. Koch said the revised classification better reflects the company’s industrial portfolio following its transformation in recent years.

Second-Quarter Results Second-quarter net sales were $1.8 billion, up 4% from the prior-year period on 4% organic growth. Growth was broad-based, led by healthcare, aerospace, industrial water and semiconductor markets, Chief Financial Officer Antonella Franzen said. Building technologies also grew year over year, supported by residential and non-residential construction activity.

Dillard’s Posted a Huge Earnings Beat—So Why Did the Rally Fade?Operating EBITDA rose 8% to $448 million, while operating EBITDA margin expanded 80 basis points to 24.6%. The margin result included a 30-basis-point headwind from price-cost dynamics, according to Franzen.

Adjusted EPS increased 21% year over year to $1.88. Franzen said stronger operations contributed $0.17 per share to the increase, while below-the-line items contributed another $0.15 per share.

Transaction-adjusted free cash flow totaled $326 million, producing 127% conversion during the quarter. The company said earnings growth and working-capital productivity supported the result.

Healthcare & Water Technologies: Sales rose 5% to $856 million, including 4% organic growth and a 1% currency benefit. Segment operating EBITDA increased 4% to $258 million, though margin declined 30 basis points to 30.1% due to mix and growth investments. Diversified Industrials: Sales rose 3% to $963 million, entirely from organic growth. Operating EBITDA increased 7% to $213 million, and margin rose 70 basis points to 22.1%. Within Healthcare & Water Technologies, healthcare sales increased at a mid-single-digit organic rate, with double-digit gains in personal protection and biopharma. Water sales grew at a low-single-digit rate, as double-digit growth in industrial water and semiconductor applications was partly offset by weakness in the Middle East.

Outside the Middle East, water organic sales increased at a mid-single-digit rate. Koch said the Middle East represents about 10% of water sales and that project timing has shifted due to the regional conflict, rather than any structural change in the market. The company expects most of the delayed project revenue to arrive in the fourth quarter.

Raised 2026 Guidance DuPont now expects full-year organic sales growth to be slightly above 4%. The company adjusted the midpoint of its sales outlook to $7.175 billion, reflecting a lower expected currency benefit as the U.S. dollar strengthens.

The company raised the midpoint of its operating EBITDA outlook to $1.760 billion and its adjusted EPS midpoint to $7.24, a $0.15 increase from its prior forecast. The adjusted EPS outlook would represent an 18% increase from the prior-year pro forma result.

Full-year operating EBITDA margin is expected to be 24.5%, including a 30-basis-point headwind from oil and gas inflation. DuPont expects full-year free-cash-flow conversion to be closer to 100% than its prior target of 90%, Franzen said.

For the second half, DuPont expects approximately 6% organic sales growth, including pricing actions already implemented. The company forecasts second-half sales of $3.675 billion and operating EBITDA of $900 million. Second-half operating EBITDA margin is expected to be 24.5%, including a 50-basis-point headwind from oil and gas inflation.

Third-quarter guidance calls for sales of $1.835 billion, operating EBITDA of $448 million and adjusted EPS of $1.80 to $1.90 per share. Reported third-quarter organic growth is expected to be about 3%, or about 5% after adjusting for a prior-year sales timing shift associated with systems activity before the Qnity separation.

Operational and Commercial Initiatives Koch said DuPont is integrating innovation, commercial excellence, operational excellence and 80/20 initiatives into a single business system intended to improve growth, margins and execution. The company reported more than a 100-basis-point improvement in on-time, in-full delivery during the quarter and said it is reducing its cost of poor quality.

DuPont’s cost of poor quality stands at about 4% of sales, compared with a benchmark of roughly 5%, Koch said. The company is targeting net productivity of 3% of cost of goods sold annually and expects to reach that run rate across the organization within about 18 months. Second-quarter productivity represented about a 200-basis-point reduction on a cost-of-goods-sold basis, contributing about 100 basis points of margin expansion as a percentage of revenue.

The company has also piloted 80/20 initiatives across four Diversified Industrials businesses. Koch said the work has identified opportunities to simplify product portfolios, improve manufacturing yield, optimize production sequencing and reallocate commercial and technical resources toward higher-growth markets. DuPont expects a few million dollars of EBITDA benefit in the second half from those efforts, primarily through margin improvement.

On the commercial side, DuPont said it has won about 150 opportunities through sales plays, representing a nearly 30% win rate compared with its historical rate in the high teens. Koch said artificial intelligence has accelerated the preparation and launch of sales plays, cutting the process from months to about four weeks, while commercial organization changes have supported the higher win rate.

Growth Markets and Capital Allocation Management cited continued momentum in aerospace, electric-vehicle batteries, industrial water and semiconductor applications. Industrial water sales to semiconductor customers, which provide ultrapure water for chip manufacturing, grew more than 20% and are expected to continue growing, Franzen said.

DuPont’s electric-vehicle battery business currently generates about $70 million in revenue, primarily from adhesives. Koch said the company expects the business to move into the triple-digit-million-dollar range in 2026 and 2027. More broadly, the company sees a several-hundred-million-dollar EV opportunity within its approximately $900 million automotive portfolio.

The company also introduced an integrated direct-lithium-extraction solution incorporating membranes and ion-exchange resins. Koch said the opportunity requires no incremental capital expenditure and estimated the direct-lithium-extraction market at about $200 million.

Alongside the planned buyback, DuPont said it retains more than $1 billion for potential acquisitions. Koch said the company sees an active pipeline in water and healthcare, including packaging and contract development and manufacturing opportunities, but will remain disciplined on valuation and expected returns.

Certain statements in this release may be considered forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements often contain words such as "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "see", "will", "would", "target", "outlook", "stabilization", "confident", "preliminary", "initial", "continue", "may", "could", "project", "estimate", "forecast" and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, many of which are beyond DuPont's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. Some of the important factors that could cause DuPont's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Electronics Separation and the Qnity Distribution, including achievement of the intended tax treatment, contractual allocation to, and assumption by Qnity of certain liabilities, including certain legacy liabilities with respect to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and the possibility of disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the Electronics Separation and Qnity Distribution; (ii) the impact of the Aramids Divestiture on DuPont's balance sheet, financial condition and future results of operations; (iii) risks and costs related to the impact of the arrangement to share future eligible PFAS costs by and among DuPont, Corteva, Inc. and The Chemours Company, including the outcome of pending or future litigation related to PFAS or PFOA, which includes personal injury claims and natural resource damages claims; the extent and cost of ongoing and potential future remediation obligations; and changes in laws and regulations applicable to PFAS chemicals; (iv) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the Electronics Separation, the Aramids Divestiture and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions; (v) risks and uncertainties that are outside the Company's control but adversely impact the overall environment in which DuPont, its customers and/or its suppliers operate, including changes in economic, political, regulatory, international trade, geopolitical, military conflicts, capital markets and other external conditions, including pandemics and responsive actions, as well as natural and other disasters or weather-related events; (vi) the ability to offset increases in cost of inputs, including raw materials, energy and logistics; (vii) the risks and uncertainties associated with continuing or expanding geopolitical conflicts or trade disputes or restrictions and responsive actions, new or increased tariffs or export controls, including on exports to China of U.S.-regulated products and technology; (viii) other risks to DuPont's business and operations, including the risk of impairment; (ix) risks and uncertainties in connection with completing the $2 billion share buyback announced on November 6, 2025, including timeline, associated costs and the possibility that the authorization may be suspended or discontinued prior to completion; (x) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Reverse Stock Split; (xi) the impact of the invalidation of certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and (xii) other risk factors discussed in DuPont's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business or supply chain disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on DuPont's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial metrics presented reflect continuing operations only.

This communication includes information that does not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company, including allocating resources. DuPont's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information related to the ongoing performance of DuPont to offer a more meaningful comparison related to future results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these Non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 12. Non-GAAP measures included in this communication are defined below. The Company has not provided forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain future events. These events include, among others, the impact of portfolio changes, including asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; contingent liabilities related to litigation, environmental and indemnifications matters; impairments and discrete tax items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.

Key Terms

Significant Items

Significant items are items that arise outside the ordinary course of business for the Company and includes items for nonconsolidated affiliates, that the Company's management believes may cause misinterpretation of underlying business and investment performance, both historical and future, based on a combination of some or all of the item's size, unusual nature and infrequent occurrence. Management classifies as significant items certain costs and expenses associated with integration and separation activities related to transformational acquisitions and divestitures as they are considered unrelated to ongoing business performance. There were no significant items associated with nonconsolidated affiliates recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs

Indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions previously allocated to the separated Electronics Business and Aramids Business, do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and are reported within continuing operations in all respective periods presented. The Company has, is, will or expects to be reimbursed in accordance with the applicable transition service agreements ("TSAs") for the portion of indirect costs related to activities the Company is, will or expects to undertake on a transitional basis to support a) Qnity not beyond year end 2027 for services and 2040 for site leases and, b) the Aramids Business post the Aramids Divestiture, but not beyond 2028 (such indirect costs "Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs"). Services provided and costs reimbursed in accordance with the applicable TSAs include but are not limited to, costs associated with information technology services/support, product stewardship and regulatory support, facilities services, and shared property lease costs.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and therefore are included in both GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations and in GAAP Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations for all periods presented. Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, each defined below. Such indirect costs that are not subject to future reimbursement are reported within continuing operations in Corporate and are included within Adjusted Earnings, Operating EBITDA, and Cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations.

Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs

Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs are environmental remediation costs, including certain investigate, remediate and restoration costs, associated with discontinued or divested operations, businesses or product lines ("Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs"). DDOB Remediation Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA, as defined below, to provide better insight into the underlying business performance of the Company.

Non-GAAP Measure Definitions

Organic Sales

Organic Sales is defined as net sales excluding the impacts of currency and portfolio.

Adjusted Earnings

Adjusted Earnings is defined as income from continuing operations excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, after-tax impact of amortization expense of intangibles, the after-tax impact of non-operating pension / other post employment benefits ("OPEB") credits / costs, Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs and Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs.

Adjusted Earnings is the numerator used in the calculation of Adjusted EPS, as well as the denominator in Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Earnings per common share - diluted. Management estimates amortization expense in 2026 associated with intangibles to be about $275 million on a pre-tax basis, or approximately $1.54 per share.

Operating EBITDA, EBITDA Margin & Incremental Margin

The Company's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes is Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company defines Operating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., "Income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains / losses, excluding Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, Corporate DDOB Remediation Costs, and adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.

Operating EBITDA Margin is defined as Operating EBITDA divided by Net Sales.

Incremental Margin is the change in Operating EBITDA divided by the change in Net Sales for the applicable period.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and excluding the impact of cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business liquidity. As a result, Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents cash that is available to the Company, after investing in its asset base, to fund obligations using the Company's primary source of liquidity, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. Management believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow, even though it may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company's cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company's financial planning process. Management notes that there were no exclusions for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted Earnings. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion as an indicator of our ability to convert earnings to cash.

Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow & Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Management believes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures including Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion (each defined below) provide an integral view of information on the Company's underlying business performance during this period of transformational change. Management believes the Electronics Separation and Aramids Divestiture collectively represent a significant transformational change for the Company and separation-related transaction cost payments impact comparability to the Company's continuing operations. Management believes Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which may be defined differently from other companies, is useful to investors, analysts and others to evaluate the Company's cash flow and financial performance, and it is an integral measure used in the Company's financial planning process. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by/used for operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures and removing the impact of separation-related transaction costs and other payment and cash inflows/outflows that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business liquidity.

Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Transaction-Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding separation-related transaction costs, divided by Adjusted Earnings.

Separation-related transaction costs and other payments include cash outflows directly associated with the Electronics Separation and the Aramids Divestiture. These costs include advisor and banking fees, payments related to establishing a new capital structure (including fees associated with interest rate swaps), capital expenditures required to facilitate physical asset separation, restructuring payments associated with senior leadership, and Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs, among other expenditures.

Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Operating EBITDA. To provide comparable data analysis, the Company has also adjusted payments associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments. This adjustment is intended to provide insight into the Company's underlying business performance. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company adjusted $8 million associated with Future Reimbursable Indirect Costs within Separation-related transaction costs and other payments.

Additionally, $2 and $5 million were reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively, for capital expenditures incurred to complete the physical separation of shared locations.

Finally, $6 million of restructuring and short-term incentive program payments to former senior leadership were reflected in Separation-related transaction costs and other payments for the six month period ended June 30, 2026. These payments were reflected in other cash payments as they related to the establishment of the post-spin leadership structure.

DuPont to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing for the Stock?
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways DuPont reports Q2 results on Aug. 4 after beating earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters.DD is expected to benefit from innovation, acquisitions and productivity actions despite inflation pressures.DuPont faces soft construction demand and cost headwinds that may weigh on its Q2 performance. DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2026 results before the opening bell on Aug. 4.

The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8% on average.  DuPont is expected to have benefited from its innovation-driven investment, productivity actions and acquisitions amid headwinds from cost inflation in the second quarter.

DD’s shares have lost 35.1% in a year, underperforming the Zacks Chemicals Diversified industry’s 0.5% rise.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

What do DD’s Revenue Estimates Indicate?The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DD’s second-quarter consolidated sales is currently pegged at $1,817.9 million, calling for a decline of 44.2% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.

The consensus estimate for the company’s Healthcare & Water Technologies segment is pinned at $860 million. The same for the Diversified Industrials unit is pegged at $947 million.

Factors at Play for DD StockDuPont is likely to have benefited from its cost and productivity measures, acquisitions and actions to drive growth through innovation in the quarter to be reported. Its innovation-driven investment is focused on several high-growth areas. DD remains committed to driving returns from its R&D investment.

The acquisition of Spectrum Plastics Group, a leading manufacturer of specialty medical devices and components, strengthened DuPont’s position in stable and fast-growing healthcare end markets. It is also in sync with its focus on high-growth, customer-driven innovation for the healthcare market. The buyout of Donatelle Plastics also enhances DD’s exposure in healthcare, expanding its expertise in the medical device market segments.

DuPont is expected to have benefited from cost synergy savings and productivity improvement actions in the June quarter. These actions contributed to a 100-basis-point year-over-year growth in operating margins in 2025. The additional benefits of its structural cost actions are expected to be realized in 2026. The company also continues to implement strategic price increases in the wake of raw material and energy cost inflation. Its cost and productivity actions, along with pricing measures, are expected to have contributed to its margins in the to-be-reported quarter.

DD is expected to have faced continued headwinds in the construction markets. In North America, uncertainties surrounding the U.S. housing market are weighing on construction. Elevated borrowing costs and inflation have unfavorably impacted the residential construction industry. The weakness in construction and automotive markets is likely to have affected second-quarter sales in the diversified industrials business. The softness in the automotive market is due to weak automotive build rates across the United States and Europe.

DuPont is also exposed to challenges from cost inflation and logistics disruptions due to the Middle East conflict. The company faces challenges from higher raw material costs resulting from the conflict. While it is taking pricing actions to offset the incremental costs, the impacts of cost inflation are expected to reflect on its performance. Higher input costs are likely to have weighed on its margins in the second quarter.

DOW vs. DD: Which Chemical Giant Deserves a Spot in Your Portfolio?
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways DOW is pursuing cost cuts and high-return growth projects amid ongoing market headwinds.DD is executing an innovation-led strategy and sharpening its portfolio through acquisitions and divestitures.Both companies face weak demand and higher costs, but differ in valuation, growth outlook and strategy. Dow Inc. (DOW - Free Report) and DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) are prominent U.S.-based chemical manufacturers, producing a wide range of chemicals and materials for various industries. They share a deep-rooted history in the American chemical industry, including a high-profile merger in 2017 and subsequent separation into distinct publicly traded companies in 2019.

Currently, both operate as restructured entities with diversified portfolios serving a vast array of end markets, including packaging, electronics, construction, automotive and agriculture. This comparison is particularly relevant for assessing which of these chemical industry leaders presents a more compelling investment opportunity in the current challenging market environment, as the industry remains mired in demand headwinds in certain markets and disruptions stemming from the Middle East conflict.

Let’s dive deep and closely compare the fundamentals of these two major chemical makers to determine which is the better investment now.

The Case for DowDOW benefits from its differentiated portfolio and advantaged feedstock positions in the Americas. It remains focused on investing in attractive areas. Its broad portfolio, significant low-cost feedstock positions, global footprint and market reach place it in an advantageous position against competitors. While Dow faces headwinds from heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, it remains focused on growth actions in attractive end markets and executing high-return incremental growth projects in cost-advantaged regions.

DOW has entered into a landmark agreement with Xylem to develop and operate advanced water systems at the Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada, manufacturing complex. The initiative further expands collaboration between these companies, supporting the advancement of DOW's Path2Zero initiative. The company also announced a series of targeted investments totaling approximately $100 million through 2027 to strengthen its global specialty silicones manufacturing and innovation. The initiative aims to support rising demand in fast-growing sectors such as mobility, electronics, and healthcare while enhancing supply chain resilience globally.

Dow is taking action to cut costs by $1 billion to drive margins. It expects to achieve the majority of the cost savings through reductions in direct and labor costs. Dow realized more than $400 million of benefits from these actions in 2025, with the remaining benefits expected by 2026.

DOW has launched the “Transform to Outperform” initiative to improve productivity, reduce complexity, streamline its end-to-end processes and enable improved returns. The plan targets at least $2 billion near-term operating EBITDA improvement, with two-thirds of the benefits expected to be realized from productivity improvements. The company expects EBITDA benefits of roughly $500 million from this program in 2026. It expects to deliver roughly $1.1 billion in benefits from self-help actions this year.

DOW has a strong balance sheet and generates substantial cash flows, which enable it to finance its growth investments in higher-value businesses and regions, and drive shareholder value. It ended the first quarter with solid liquidity of around $14 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of roughly $4.1 billion. It generated solid cash flow from operating activities of roughly $1.1 billion in the first quarter.

DOW returned $1.5 billion to its shareholders through dividends in 2025. Dow has a policy of returning roughly 45% of its operating net income through dividends. It paid $252 million in dividends in the first quarter. It has no substantial long-term debt maturities until 2029. DOW offers a healthy dividend yield of 4.7% at the current stock price.

Despite these positives, DOW is exposed to headwinds from a tepid demand environment. Lower consumer spending amid inflationary pressures is affecting demand in Europe. Construction and manufacturing activities remain soft in the region. Demand in Asia has been affected by a weaker demand recovery in China. The property sector in China remains sluggish, with declining new home prices.

Inflationary pressures are impacting consumer durables and building and construction demand. Demand in infrastructure, including residential construction, also remains weak. Dow is also seeing softness in automotive in Europe due to weak demand. Higher costs are also expected to impact the U.S. automotive market in 2026. Weak conditions across these markets are likely to impact volumes in second-quarter 2026.

The company faces headwinds from higher feedstock costs in Asia and Europe. The Middle East conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have led to significant supply disruptions and feedstock cost pressure in these regions. Elevated feedstock and energy costs are likely to impact margins in the second quarter.

The Case for DuPontDuPont remains focused on driving growth through innovation and new product development. Its innovation-driven investment is focused on several high-growth areas. DD remains committed to driving returns from its R&D investment.

The acquisition of Spectrum Plastics Group, a leading manufacturer of specialty medical devices and components, strengthened DuPont’s position in stable and fast-growing healthcare end markets. It is also in sync with its focus on high-growth, customer-driven innovation for the healthcare market. The buyout of Donatelle Plastics also enhances DD’s exposure in healthcare, expanding its expertise in the medical device market segments. The acquisition introduces complementary advanced technologies and capabilities, such as medical device injection molding, liquid silicone rubber processing, precision machining, device assembly and tool building.

DuPont also completed the divestiture of its Aramids business to Arclin for $1.8 billion in April 2026, allowing it to sharpen its focus on innovation-driven, higher-return businesses. The divestiture is expected to improve DuPont’s margin profile and reduce earnings volatility tied to cyclical end markets, while also strengthening its balance sheet and providing additional flexibility for capital allocation.

DuPont is also benefiting from cost synergy savings and productivity improvement actions. These actions contributed to a 100-basis-point year-over-year growth in operating margins in 2025. The additional benefits of its structural cost actions are expected to be realized in 2026. The company also continues to implement strategic price increases in the wake of raw material and energy cost inflation. Its cost and productivity actions, along with pricing measures, are expected to contribute to its margins this year. DuPont’s corporate cost reductions are expected to deliver margin expansion for this year, with the company expecting a 60-80 basis-point operating margin expansion.

The company remains focused on driving cash flow and returning value to its shareholders. It looks to boost cash flow through working capital productivity and earnings growth. Prudent working capital management is expected to allow it to achieve its projected transaction-adjusted free cash flow conversion of more than 90% in 2026. DuPont also remains committed to effective capital allocation.

DD’s board approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $2 billion, with the company executing a $500 million accelerated share repurchase (ASR) transaction in the fourth quarter of 2025. It has announced a $275 million ASR under this program. DuPont offers a dividend yield of 1.8% at the current stock price. Its payout ratio is 25%.

On the flip side, DD is facing headwinds in the construction markets, which are impacting sales in its industrial business. In North America, uncertainties surrounding the U.S. housing market are weighing on construction. Elevated borrowing costs and inflation have taken a bite out of the residential construction industry. The weakness in construction and automotive markets is hurting sales in the diversified industrials business. The softness in the automotive market is due to weak automotive build rates across the United States and Europe.

DuPont is also exposed to challenges from cost inflation and logistics disruptions due to the Middle East conflict. The company faces challenges from higher raw material costs resulting from the conflict. While the company is taking pricing actions to offset the incremental costs, the impacts of cost inflation are expected to reflect on its margins in 2026. DuPont sees incremental costs of around $90 million in 2026, with maximum impact expected in the second half. Higher input costs are expected to weigh on margins in the second quarter.

Price Performance and Valuation of DOW & DDThe DOW stock is up 25.3% year to date, while DD has gained 11.3% compared with the Zacks Chemicals Diversified industry’s increase of 17.2%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

DOW is currently trading at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.48, below the industry’s 0.88. 

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

DD is currently trading at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 2.48, well above DOW and the industry.

DOW or DD: Which Stock Holds the Edge?Both DOW and DD currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), so picking one stock is not easy. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

DOW benefits from its cost and productivity actions and investment in high-return projects. DuPont gains on its innovation-led strategy, healthcare expansion, disciplined capital allocation and healthy margin improvement backed by cost synergies. Both are exposed to weak demand in a challenging environment as well as cost headwinds. DOW appears to have an edge over DD due to its more attractive valuation. In addition, DOW's higher earnings growth projections suggest that it may offer better investment prospects in the current market environment.

In addition, DuPont provides different grades of FilmTec™ LiNE nanofiltration and reverse osmosis elements, offering unique separation characteristics and incorporation of low salt rejection reverse osmosis (LSRRO) technology to achieve ultra-high lithium concentration.

These capabilities are enhanced by advanced DuPont™ IntegraTec™ and Inge™ ultrafiltration modules, FilmTec™ nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, and DuPont™ AmberLite™ ion exchange resins, which improve lithium yield, purity, and concentration throughout the process. By bringing these technologies together into a single, cohesive platform, DuPont enables customers to optimize performance and recovery across the full direct lithium extraction flowsheet.

"DLE processes are highly sensitive to the lithium brine composition, temperature, and competing ions. By integrating the lithium-selective sorbents, membranes, and ion exchange technologies into a single process design framework, we can optimize the full flowsheet rather than treating them in isolation," said Dr. Martin Deetz, Senior R&D Laureate for DuPont Water Solutions. "Our customers are trying to move from the lab to reliable lithium production as quickly as possible. By combining these technologies with advanced modeling, testing, and piloting support, we can help accelerate the design of tailored, end-to-end lithium extraction flowsheets for their specific brine resources and goals."

DuPont further supports customers through its global research and development network, offering advanced laboratory testing and process modeling. These services allow lithium producers to validate performance using real brine samples and accelerate process development. This approach positions DuPont as a technical collaborator, helping customers move from initial evaluation to implementation with greater speed, confidence, and process reliability. As demand for lithium surges to power electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the industry is increasingly adopting DLE as a more coordinated and efficient approach to unlocking new lithium resources.

DuPont's technical experts hosted an educational webinar on June 18, 2026 to help customers understand how tailored DLE technologies can increase lithium yield and purity while addressing the unique characteristics of their brine resources. The session highlighted how customers can leverage DuPont's testing, modeling, and piloting support to evaluate and implement customized solutions.

DuPont Launches Multi-Technology Water Treatment Design Tool
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
WAVE PRO now connects UF, IER, RO, and NF modeling to help water professionals design more accurate, efficient, and versatile treatment systems.

, /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced the latest advancement of Water Application Value Engine (WAVE PRO), its advanced online water treatment modeling tool, now enabling integrated multi-technology design across ultrafiltration (UF), ion exchange resins (IER), reverse osmosis (RO), and nanofiltration (NF) in one comprehensive platform. The enhanced solution supports water treatment applications including drinking water, industrial utility water, wastewater, and seawater desalination.

"We're excited to offer our municipal and industrial customers a water treatment design tool that connects ultrafiltration, ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration in one comprehensive platform," said Sylvia Insogna, Digital Leader, DuPont Water Solutions. "By bringing these core water treatment technologies together, WAVE PRO provides more accurate, data-driven system design that optimizes membrane and energy use, can extend asset lifetimes, and helps customers reduce the environmental footprint of water treatment while achieving their operational and financial goals."

The integrated modeling approach in WAVE PRO helps solve several of the most common challenges in water treatment design. It reduces time spent running separate simulations and minimizes manual data-entry errors. It captures the interdependencies between technologies that can materially affect system performance, enabling more realistic projections and more cost-effective designs. For example, an integrated simulation can show how upstream UF can improve downstream RO performance and reduce design constraints.

WAVE PRO also expands design flexibility for more complex systems. Integrated UF and RO modeling supports better pretreatment and high-performance salt removal decisions early in the design phase, while more advanced multi-process configurations can account for recycle streams and closed-loop conditions that single-technology tools cannot accurately model. This helps users design more versatile and reliable systems from the start.

WAVE PRO seamlessly integrates DuPont Water Solutions technologies, including DuPont™ IntegraTec™ and DuPont™ Inge™ ultrafiltration modules, DuPont™ AmberLite™ ion exchange resins, and FilmTec™ reverse osmosis and nanofiltration elements—bringing industry-leading filtration and separation technologies together in a single, powerful design environment. With access to this broader portfolio in a single platform, users can design with greater confidence across a wider range of municipal and industrial applications.

WAVE PRO is a web-based platform that can be securely accessed from any computer or tablet using a single sign-in. It is compatible with both Microsoft Windows and iOS. The platform supports collaboration by allowing multiple users to work on the same projection file, securely share reports, and enhance cross-functional alignment throughout the design process.

WAVE PRO is free to use and available on DuPont Water Solutions' WaterApp, which includes a broad range of digital tools to help water professionals. To directly sign in: http://wavepro.dupont.com 

DuPont Water Solutions' technologies help purify more than 50 million gallons of water every minute in 112 countries around the world. DuPont offers a broad portfolio of membranes, resins, and complete systems to address the challenges faced by water treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and industrial water users—including the microelectronics industry.

DuPont rallies after strong results—more upside ahead?
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Shares of DuPont NYSE:DD rose sharply on Tuesday after the industrial materials maker reported first-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations and raised its full-year financial outlook, signaling resilience despite rising input costs linked to geopolitical tensions.

The stock climbed about 8.9% to around $49.46, reaching its highest level since March.

The gains came as investors responded positively to both the earnings beat and improved guidance, even as the broader market grappled with the impact of higher oil prices.

DuPont reported adjusted earnings of 55 cents per share for the first quarter, ahead of Wall Street estimates of 48 cents.

Revenue came in at approximately $1.7 billion, in line with expectations.

The year-over-year comparison reflects structural changes following the spinoff of its electronics business, Qnity Electronics.

A year earlier, DuPont had reported earnings of $1.03 per share prior to that separation.

Operationally, the company delivered steady growth across its core segments.

Sales in the Healthcare & Water Technologies division rose about 6%, supported by demand in medical packaging and biopharma markets.

Meanwhile, the diversified industrials segment posted 3% sales growth, with both divisions achieving margin expansion of roughly 1.1 percentage points.

“Our teams...delivered organic growth, margin expansion, and double-digit adjusted EPS growth, along with solid cash flow generation in the quarter,” CEO Lori Koch said in a news release.

Looking ahead, DuPont lifted its full-year 2026 outlook, reflecting confidence in its ability to navigate a challenging cost environment.

The company now expects adjusted earnings per share of about $2.38, up from prior guidance of around $2.28.

Revenue is projected to reach approximately $7.2 billion, compared with earlier expectations of about $7.1 billion.

“Our full year net sales guidance now assumes about 4% organic growth, including about 1% of pricing due to actions taken to fully offset higher input costs related to the Middle East conflict,” CFO Antonella Franzen said in a news release.

The updated outlook comes as the company continues to manage higher raw material costs tied to disruptions in global oil and petrochemical markets.

The Strait of Hormuz tensions have tightened supply for key inputs such as plastics, polymers, and resins.

Executives noted that price increases and surcharges have been implemented to offset these pressures, with an estimated $90 million cost impact expected to be fully covered starting in the second quarter.

Analysts pointed to DuPont’s diversified business mix as a key factor in its ability to withstand external shocks.

Citi analyst Patrick Cunningham described the results as a "solid quarter with the diversified portfolio mix helping offset pronounced weakness from the Middle East disruption."

DuPont operates across multiple end markets, including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and water technologies, which helps balance performance across cycles.

Despite recent gains, the stock has faced volatility in recent months.

Shares were down about 9.2% before Tuesday's open since the start of the Iran conflict in late February, as investors worried about the impact of higher oil prices on production costs.

However, the latest results suggest those concerns may be easing.

The company also announced a $275 million accelerated share repurchase program, signaling confidence in its financial position and commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

With solid execution, improving margins, and the ability to pass through higher costs, DuPont appears positioned to maintain momentum through 2026, even as geopolitical risks continue to influence global markets.

Congress and retailers want to rebuild national parks. Tolls on federal roads might pay for it
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Congress is trying to come up with more money to give the aging national parks a facelift in honor of the country's 250th birthday this year. President Donald Trump talks about the importance of federal facilities looking good, while his budget proposal slashed funding for the National Park Service.

Republican lawmakers are searching for revenue sources including establishing tolls on federally operated roads in the Washington area used daily by tens of thousands of commuters and by hiking fees to visit national parks for visitors from outside the U.S. Democrats say putting tolls on roads that intersect with the Capital Beltway is an untenable solution and that finding new money to fund park overhauls is not necessary since it's already the government's responsibility to maintain the parks.

Lawmakers are racing to pass the successor to the Great American Outdoors Act, or GAOA, a law Trump signed during his first term to clear the National Park Service's backlog of deferred maintenance in the park system. The law has now expired, and the maintenance backlog has only grown, so Congress wants to pass a successor measure to finish the job.

The national parks are one of the few remaining truly bipartisan issues on Capitol Hill due to their immense popularity with voters. Few lawmakers will oppose funding the parks, and Trump's proposed cuts and sales of public lands have been routinely vanquished in Congress. And, the parks help support a booming outdoor recreation industry that contributes to the economy, supporting sales of gear and materials from companies such as REI, Patagonia and DuPont.

"If we could find a way to use tolls on federal roads, that's one way you could fund it," said Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources. Westerman said he's looking to create what he's called the "Next 250 Fund" to fund the parks.

Westerman said tolls would be justified because the first iteration of the Great American Outdoors Act directed money to restore the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a federal road in the metropolitan Washington area. A slew of federally operated roads crisscross the capital area.

"Look at all the money that comes out of the parks in Wyoming that goes to things like the George Washington Parkway, the entrance fees from there, so why shouldn't that be an option to raise funds to do maintenance backlog going forward?" he asked.

Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, ruled out tolling to raise additional tax dollars, saying the drivers who use the Washington-area roads have recoiled from the idea.

"All the colleagues I've talked to that represent those areas say it's a nonstarter, poison pill," Huffman said.

Huffman said there's no need to find additional revenue to balance the new spending in the bill, calling it an "obsession" of Republicans.

"This is deferred maintenance, it's like a debt we've already incurred," he said. "So to be playing around with these politicized offsets is not a productive path forward."

The legislative effort occurs against the backdrop of Trump's proposed budget for the 2027 fiscal year that would slash the National Park Service's overall budget by 34% and its construction budget to less than $50 million, a 72% decrease from 2025.

Those cuts would follow National Park Service staff reductions totaling nearly a quarter of the agency's workforce in 2025 after Trump returned to the White House, according to data compiled by the National Parks Conservation Association.

Senate stays away from proposing road tollsThe Senate is not pursuing tolls or other new revenue for its version of the bill, dubbed the "America the Beautiful Act." That bill would use the same mechanism as the first Great American Outdoors Act to fund the maintenance: funneling oil and gas royalties from all federal energy development revenues into a fund called the Legacy Restoration Fund, set aside for park maintenance.

The Senate bill, led by Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Angus King, I-Maine, has 52 sponsors in the Senate.

"Let's see how we can do over here and then we'll talk with Chairman Westerman," King said when asked about the proposed tolls.

Hanging over the debate is the White House, which, in its budget request for fiscal 2027, asked for the Legacy Restoration Fund, which expired after the 2025 fiscal year, to be restored. The White House also endorsed foreign visitor fees, saying the park service "would implement a surcharge on international visitors at the most visited parks that would provide hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain parks around the Nation."

The number of international visitors to the U.S. dropped 5.9% in Trump's first year back in the White House from the year before, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. The National Park Service already implemented a $100 per person surcharge for non-U.S. residents per daily visit to the most popular national parks, and Trump wants to put the change into law.

Democrats are also on high alert for any legislative language that may clear the way for Trump's various projects around Washington, such as his White House ballroom and a proposed triumphal arch.

"I am concerned that some of the language we've seen could be used for vanity construction projects, and that's not going to fly either," Huffman said.

REI, Patagonia among companies pushing for spendingThe outdoor recreation market is a massive industry worth billions in the U.S. that touches almost every part of the retail industry — from specialty players such as REI and Patagonia to big box stores such as Walmart and Target to apparel companies such as Lululemon and Abercrombie & Fitch.

During Trump's first term, retailers threw their weight behind the GAOA because legislation that supports the outdoors and U.S. national parks is safe policy to support and is inherently apolitical, said Neil Saunders, a GlobalData Retail analyst and managing director.

"It kind of throws a halo around the brands. It links in with sustainability. It links in with the green agenda, but it's not really political in a way that is controversial," Saunders said. "Most Americans are like, 'Hey, our public parks, you know, are an asset. They're a national asset. We should protect them. We should look after them. We should make sure that they're well kept. They're a source of pride. And I think retailers find it very easy to sign on to things like that."

Of course, it's also good for business.

In a November report, the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, a trade association that supports the GAOA, says outdoor recreation drives $1.2 trillion in economic output and supports 5 million U.S. jobs each year. The group found that recreation on federal lands and waters adds $351 million to the U.S. economy every day — the same amount of economic juice that could come from hosting eight Super Bowls every month.

For retailers such as REI and VF Corp — whose brands include The North Face and Timberland — that means more customers coming to their stores to buy camping gear, helmets or hiking boots. If consumers visit a national park and like what they see, they may decide to make outdoor recreation a more regular hobby, which likely means spending money on gear associated with those hobbies. Conversely, if they visit a park and find it to be poorly maintained and unenjoyable, they may try something else during their next bout of free time, perhaps indoors.

More people visiting national parks "potentially enlarges the market size because there are more people doing outdoor activities," Saunders said. "They need equipment, even if it's basic stuff, like coats and backpacks."

The debate on how to fund the GAOA comes at a time when the overall wellness market is growing and becoming an important economic driver. More consumers are ultra-focused on their bodies, what they consume and how they spend their time. For many, that includes more time outdoors, either exercising or just spending time in nature for mental health reasons.

U.S. consumers' focus on wellness was a growing trend before the Covid-19 pandemic that accelerated during lockdown orders, fueling a surge in interest in outdoor activities, national parks and sales of sports and leisure goods.

While that interest is still there, and is now being buoyed by the Make America Healthy Again movement, sales for sports and leisure goods have slowed since the pandemic. That's largely because so many people stocked up on outdoor goods during that time and due to an overall slowdown in discretionary spending, Saunders said.

Between 2015 and 2022, the U.S. outdoor market grew each year for seven years but has since softened, shrinking 6% between 2022 and 2025, according to GlobalData.

Given how slow discretionary spending has been in recent years, fresh funding for the GAOA could prove to be an important sales driver for retailers, especially if it's coupled with marketing tied to revamped national parks and outdoor events around the nation's 250th birthday.

"They need it," Saunders said. "The market's been a little bit sluggish, so I think retailers see this as a nice boost at the right time."

DuPont Announces Reverse Stock Split and Reaffirms 2026 Financial Guidance
DD DuPont
FMP Stock News
Original source text
, /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-3 as well as a reduction in the number of authorized shares of its common stock by a corresponding ratio (the "Reverse Stock Split").

The Reverse Stock Split was approved by stockholders at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 21, 2026, and is expected to become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 24, 2026. DuPont's common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange on June 24, 2026 under the existing ticker symbol "DD" with a new CUSIP number of 26614N 201.

At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every three issued and outstanding shares of DuPont common stock will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. In addition, the total number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance will be reduced from 1,666,666,667 to 555,555,556. If the Reverse Stock Split were implemented as of May 22, 2026, the total number of outstanding shares would be reduced proportionately from approximately 405,058,202 to approximately 135,019,401, subject to adjustment for fractional shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares will receive a cash payment from Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Company's transfer agent, in lieu thereof. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares underlying the Company's outstanding equity awards, including stock options and restricted stock units, and to the exercise or conversion prices of such instruments. Similar adjustments will be made to outstanding warrants and other convertible securities. 

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder's proportionate ownership interest in the Company, except for adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. 

Stockholders holding shares in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their holdings automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders holding physical certificates will receive instructions from the Company's transfer agent regarding exchange procedures. 

The Company today also reaffirmed its second quarter and full year 2026 financial guidance for net sales, operating EBITDA and adjusted EPS, and intends to present its per share metrics, including earnings per share, on a split-adjusted basis when reported. Below represents our adjusted earnings per share guidance, giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split which results in a weighted average diluted share count for the second quarter and full year 2026 of approximately 137 million shares:

These events include, among others, the impact of portfolio changes, including asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; contingent liabilities related to litigation, environmental and indemnifications matters; impairments and discrete tax items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.
