Read MoreHide Full Article

DuPont (DD - Free Report) announced that its Advanced Printing business will showcase new product offerings during the China Print tradeshow in Beijing. These products will advance flexography as well as improve quality and productivity. DuPont Advanced Printing combines leading technologies and products for printing and package printing industries.

In China, DuPont will be highlighting Cyrel Easy ESM and EFM which are developed for paper printing application. While Cyrel Easy ESM and EFM are useful as solvents, Cyrel Fast is a thermal processor. These new products have been designed to achieve the highest quality image reproduction on various paper substrates with a single plate offering. This will simplify operations in both the plate as well as the press room.

The products to be featured at the show also includes DuPont Cyrel Fast 2000TD with features like cutting-edge tools and technologies that contribute to higher plate quality, easier workflow, and improved machine serviceability. The DuPont Artistri offers high-quality inks that provide brighter colors, shorter production cycles and higher production throughput for direct-to-garment (DTG) and roll-to-roll (RTR) printing.

DuPont has outperformed the Zacks categorized Chemicals-Diversified industry over the past year. The company’s shares have rallied 23.5% over this period, compared with the industry’s gain of around 19.3% over the same period.



DuPont kept its positive earnings surprise streak alive with a solid beat in first-quarter 2017, supported by higher sales, strong demand for new products, healthy earnings gains in its agriculture business and benefits of its cost-reduction actions.

DuPont is focused on an aggressive cost-cutting strategy. Further, DuPont remains committed to introduce new higher-performing products to meet farmers’ needs. It has numerous new products in its pipeline that should contribute to top line growth.

Moreover, the proposed mega-merger with Dow Chemical (DOW - Free Report) is expected to deliver cost synergies of around $3 billion. The companies recently secured conditional regulatory approval in China for the planned merger.

However, DuPont is exposed to raw material cost pressure and currency headwinds which can impact results. The company also faces certain challenges in its nutrition & health and electronics businesses. Its agriculture business is still faced with industry-wide challenges.
