Read MoreHide Full Article
DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) has announced the acceleration of the separation of its Electronics business, with an expected completion date of Nov. 1, 2025. This decision reflects Electronics' scale and importance in the overall shareholder value creation opportunity and DuPont's intention to finalize the separation as early as possible.
In addition, DuPont no longer plans to separate its Water business. The company analyzed all strategic alternatives and concluded that keeping the Water business in the DuPont portfolio is the best way to generate value. This also strengthens DuPont's ability to continue optimizing its portfolio after the Electronics separation.
The decision to retain the Water business provides the organization with greater strategic flexibility over time and makes it another high-growth business in addition to Healthcare. Management is confident in Water's prospects and expects the business to perform strongly in 2025.
DD also reaffirmed its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 guidance for net sales, operating EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share as provided on Nov. 5, 2024, including the expected improved performance in the Water business.
DuPont’s shares have jumped 4.6% in a year versus a 4.6% decline in the industry.
