Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what DD's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. DD trades near $130.68, around its 50-day average ($142.45) and 200-day average ($128.80). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 49 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. DD's is $4.52 (~3.5% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, DD found buyers near $131.14 (support) and sellers near $148.68 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $86.59–$157.98. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.8× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

DD trades at n/a trailing earnings, 2.9x sales, and 3.3x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 7.7% long-term free-cash-flow growth. With no positive trailing earnings, value it on sales, cash flow, or growth rather than P/E.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions. Growth, margin or P/E data is missing for this stock, so some starting values above are placeholders rather than measurements.
Bull Case
The case for DD:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~9.3%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.2x) lowers risk.
Bear Case
The case against DD:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-22.5%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (-0.3%) leave little room for error.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (29/100).
Key Risks
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-22.5%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (-0.3%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: DuPont is a large-cap materials business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at n/a earnings, which our model scores Weak (29/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

Live price data plus real fundamentals and 5-year financials pulled directly from DuPont's SEC filings — refreshed automatically, not hand-entered.
How is the 5-year projection for DD calculated?
It's a scenario model.

When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
