杜邦二季度盈利超预期并小幅上调2026年利润指引

Industrial materials maker DuPont (DD.N) raised its annual profit forecasts on Tuesday after beating second-quarter estimates, driven by price hikes ​and the impact of its capital deployment measures.

The company has ‌benefited from capital deployment actions such as the spin-off of its electronics business, debt reduction and share repurchases, as well as surcharges and price increases to offset ​higher feedstock and energy costs, at a time when ​the global chemicals industry has also grappled with weak demand ⁠in key end-markets.

Ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz since ​late February have disrupted oil and petrochemical flows, tightening global chemical supplies and ​driving up plastics and polymer prices.

The company lifted its 2026 adjusted core profit outlook to between $1.75 billion and $1.77 billion, from $1.73 billion to $1.76 billion forecast previously.

It now ​expects adjusted earnings per share of $7.17 to $7.32, up from a prior ​forecast of $7.02 to $7.16 — a range that the company has restated to reflect its ‌1-for-3 reverse ⁠stock split, which took effect in June.

CFO Antonella Franzen said continued strength across healthcare, industrial water and aerospace end-markets is expected to drive mid-single-digit organic sales growth in the second half of the year.

Net ​sales at its ​healthcare and water ⁠technologies segment rose nearly 5% to $856 million from a year earlier, while net sales at its ​diversified industrials segment increased 3.3% to $963 million.

DuPont forecast annual ​net sales ⁠of $7.16 billion to $7.19 billion, narrowing its prior forecast range of $7.16 billion to $7.22 billion, citing a headwind from lower currency benefits.

The Wilmington, Delaware-based company ⁠posted ​adjusted profit of $1.88 per share for the ​three months ended June 30, beating analysts' estimate of $1.76 per share, according to data ​compiled by LSEG.
