DuPont Ranks 472nd in $210M Volume as Analysts Hike Targets Amid Earnings Surge

On August 8, 2025, DuPont (DD) closed at a 0.58% decline, with a trading volume of $0.21 billion, ranking 472nd in the market. The stock remains under analyst scrutiny as RBC Capital raised its price target to $94 from $93, maintaining an Outperform rating. The upgrade followed DuPont’s Q2 results, which exceeded expectations, and revised guidance for Q3 and FY2025. Analysts highlighted strong performance in electronics, water, and healthcare segments, while industrial and construction markets lagged. RBC anticipates earnings growth driven by the November 1 Qnity spin-off and potential aramids divestiture.

Recent developments include a proposed $875 million settlement with New Jersey over historical environmental claims and the suspension of China’s antitrust probe into its Tyvek business. These legal updates, pending court approval, add clarity to regulatory risks. Financially, DuPont reported $3.3 billion in quarterly revenue and $59 million in net income, with operating EBITDA revised to $3.36 billion for FY2025. Analysts note the company’s valuation multiple could re-rate post-spin-off, supported by $12.61 billion in trailing revenue and $3.23 billion in EBITDA.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day returned 166.71% from 2022 to 2025, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This underscores liquidity-driven momentum in volatile markets, though high-volume stocks carry inherent risks due to rapid price swings and macroeconomic shifts.
