Analysts Have Made A Financial Statement On DuPont de Nemours, Inc.'s (NYSE:DD) Third-Quarter Report

Last week saw the newest third-quarter earnings release from DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:DD), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. Results were roughly in line with estimates, with revenues of US$3.2b and statutory earnings per share of US$1.09. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from DuPont de Nemours' 16 analysts is for revenues of US$13.1b in 2025. This would reflect a credible 7.2% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to jump 162% to US$3.19. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$13.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$3.18 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of US$95.19, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on DuPont de Nemours, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$106 and the most bearish at US$52.00 per share. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the DuPont de Nemours' past performance and to peers in the same industry. For example, we noticed that DuPont de Nemours' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 5.7% growth to the end of 2025 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 9.2% a year over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 4.6% per year. So it looks like DuPont de Nemours is expected to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$95.19, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have estimates - from multiple DuPont de Nemours analysts - going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
