DuPont de Nemours, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The company’s ElectronicsCo segment recorded net sales of $1,118 million in the reported quarter, up 13.6% on a year-over-year basis. Organic sales rose 14%, with a 16% increase in volume offset by a 2% fall in price.
The IndustrialsCo segment recorded net sales of $1,948 million, flat year over year. Net sales were flat, with 2% organic growth offset by a 1% currency headwind and a 1% adverse portfolio impact.
DD’s Financials
DuPont had cash and cash equivalents of $1,762 million at the end of the quarter, down around 4.8% sequentially. Long-term debt was $5,325 million, flat sequentially.
The company generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $382 million during the first quarter.
DD’s Outlook
For the second quarter of 2025, the company projects net sales of approximately $3.2 billion, operating EBITDA of around $815 million and adjusted earnings per share of about $1.05. This outlook reflects a seasonal sequential increase in sales. However, the rise is more subdued than previously anticipated due to timing shifts from the second quarter into the first quarter within the Semiconductor Technologies business.
The company has maintained its full-year 2025 guidance. Notably, the full-year outlook does not account for the net cost impact of recently announced tariffs, which are currently estimated at $60 million, or roughly 10 cents per share.
