Shares of DuPont de Nemours have dropped 4.5% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.9% gain. Nevertheless, the stock’s decline was less severe than the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLB) 9.1% decrease over the same time frame.
Shares of DuPont rose 2.4% on Aug. 5 after the company reported Q2 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.12 and revenue of $3.26 billion, topping forecasts. Strong demand in its electronics segment, with sales rising to $1.2 billion, and healthcare growth helped offset weakness in construction markets.
