Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call was broadly positive: DuPont reported a quarter that beat guidance across key metrics (sales, EBITDA, EPS), delivered strong free cash flow (127% conversion), raised full-year guidance, announced a $250M buyback and showcased operational improvements (productivity, OTIF, lower cost of poor quality) and promising commercial/innovation momentum (AI-enabled sales plays, DLE launch, EV battery ramp). Offsetting items include near-term timing and project headwinds in the Middle East impacting Water, margin pressure in Healthcare & Water from mix and investments, oil & gas inflationary headwinds (partially mitigated by $90M of pricing), and modest currency headwinds. Overall the positives — improved organic growth, margin expansion, cash generation, capital allocation actions, and scaling commercial and operational programs — outweigh the localized and addressable headwinds.Company Guidance

Q2 performance exceeded prior guidance and management raised full-year 2026 targets: organic sales growth now expected slightly ahead of 4%, operating EBITDA midpoint increased to $1.760 billion, and adjusted EPS midpoint raised to $7.24 (approximately +18% vs prior year pro forma and +$0.15 vs prior guide).
Strong Quarterly Financial Results
Net sales of $1.8 billion (up 4% year-over-year on 4% organic growth); operating EBITDA of $448 million (up 8% YoY) and operating EBITDA margin of 24.6% (up 80 basis points YoY); adjusted EPS of $1.88 (up 21% YoY).
Robust Cash Flow and Capital Deployment
Transaction-adjusted free cash flow of $326 million with conversion of 127%; management expects full-year free cash flow conversion to be ahead of the 90% target and CFO said closer to 100% on a full-year basis.
