Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
DuPont's Earnings and Revenues Top Estimates in Q1
DuPont recorded earnings (on a reported basis) from continuing operations of 42 cents per share for first-quarter 2022, down from 64 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

DuPont raked in net sales of $3,274 million, up 9% from the year-ago quarter. It also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,249.9 million. The company saw a 9% rise in organic sales in the quarter, supported by 3% higher volumes and 6% pricing gains. It witnessed sales gain in all regions globally.
Volume growth was driven by sustained strong demand in electronics, industrial technologies, water and construction end-markets, partly masked by continued supply-chain challenges. The price increase mainly reflects actions taken by the company to offset raw material, logistics and energy cost inflation. Supply-chain constraints and cost inflation were exacerbated during the quarter by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
