DuPont Raises 2026 Guidance After Q3 Beat, Plans $250M Buyback
Wilmington – November 03, 2026 -- DuPont raised its full-year 2026 outlook for the second time after third-quarter net sales rose 4% to $1.9 billion, with adjusted EPS of $2.09 and transaction-adjusted free cash flow of $341 million, a 121% conversion rate.
DuPont lifts full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $7.47-$7.52
The company now expects organic growth of about 4.5%, operating EBITDA of about $1.785 billion and adjusted EPS of $7.47 to $7.52. CFO Antonella Franzen said all three metrics sit at or above the high end of previously communicated guidance.
Third-quarter organic sales grew 5%, partly offset by a 1% currency headwind. GAAP income from continuing operations was $171 million, or $1.24 per share, and operating EBITDA was $469 million. GAAP earnings improved on higher segment earnings and lower interest expense and transaction costs. Adjusted EPS rose on higher segment earnings and lower net interest expense, tax rate and share count.
