DuPont de Nemours stock reports a stronger Q2 2026

DuPont de Nemours stock stood at USD 130.92 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, giving the company a market capitalization of USD 17.68 billion. The latest operating figures show Q2 2026 net sales of USD 1.819 billion, up 4 percent from the year-ago quarter.

Q2 earnings beat consensus

Trivano reported that DuPont generated adjusted EPS of USD 1.88 in Q2 2026, compared with USD 1.27 in Q2 2025. The result also exceeded the USD 1.76 consensus estimate by USD 0.12.

The earnings comparison is more striking than the revenue increase. Adjusted EPS rose USD 0.61 year over year, while net sales increased from USD 1.749 billion to USD 1.819 billion, a gain of USD 70 million.

Guidance points to steady earnings

According to MarketBeat on September 24, 2026, DuPont set Q3 2026 adjusted EPS guidance at USD 1.80 to USD 1.90. The midpoint of USD 1.85 sits USD 0.03 below the Q2 adjusted EPS result.

That sequence gives investors a clear operating signal. The company is carrying a higher earnings base into Q3, but the guidance midpoint implies a 1.6 percent sequential decline from USD 1.88, making execution across its advanced materials businesses important.
