DuPont shares rose after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations, adding to signs of a gradual improvement in the industrial economy. Adjusted earnings came in at 46 cents per share, topping forecasts, while sales met estimates and reflected the impact of last year’s spinoff of its electronics materials business.
Looking ahead, DuPont guided to 2026 earnings of about
$2.28 per share on sales of
$7.1 billion, both above Wall Street expectations. The company expects sales growth to accelerate to roughly 3%, up from about 2% in 2025, supported by strong product mix, cost discipline, and healthier demand across its industrial and healthcare segments.
Analysts described the quarter as “strong,” and the upbeat outlook helped the stock outperform a mixed broader market, reinforcing optimism for better growth among industrial companies in the year ahead.
