DuPont outlines value strategy ahead of electronics business spinoff

DuPont (NYSE: DD) hosted its 2025 Investor Day to present its strategy following the planned November 1, 2025 spinoff of its electronics business, Qnity Electronics, Inc. The company outlined medium-term financial targets and recast its 2025 guidance to reflect discontinued operations.

The company provided financial targets for 2025 through 2028, including 3-4% organic sales growth compound annual growth rate, 150-200 basis points improvement in operating EBITDA margin, 8-10% adjusted earnings per share growth compound annual growth rate, and greater than 90% free cash flow conversion.

"DuPont is entering a new chapter as a more simplified, agile and high-performing multi-industrial company," said Lori Koch, DuPont Chief Executive Officer.

For the third quarter of 2025, DuPont estimates net sales of approximately $2.980 billion, operating EBITDA of about $805 million, and adjusted EPS of about $1.06 per share. The company recast these figures to reflect the impact of classifying its Aramids business as discontinued operations.

For full year 2025, DuPont estimates net sales of about $6.865 billion and operating EBITDA of approximately $1.575 billion after recasting guidance to reflect both the Aramids business and electronics business as discontinued operations.

The electronics business spinoff is subject to customary conditions including board approval, tax opinion from counsel, SEC registration statement effectiveness, regulatory approvals and financing completion. The transaction will not require a shareholder vote.

DuPont previously announced on August 29, 2025 a definitive agreement to divest its Aramids business to Arclin for $1.2 billion in cash, a $300 million note, and $325 million in equity consideration. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
