DuPont: Margin Momentum Is Real, And The Market Is Starting To Take Notice (Rating Downgrade)

DuPont de Nemours has repositioned its portfolio, driving strong Q1 results and a 28% share rally over six months. Management raised full-year guidance, now expecting $2.35–$2.40 EPS and $7.16–$7.22B sales, citing segment strength and new product launches. Despite robust execution and shareholder returns, DD's forward P/E of ~21x and recent rally leave shares fairly valued with limited near-term upside.
