DuPont's first quarter 2026 results came in ahead of guidance across all key metrics, with net sales of $1.7 billion representing 4% reported growth and 2% organic growth, operating EBITDA of $414 million expanding 230 basis points year-over-year on a reported basis, and adjusted EPS of $0.55, a 53% increase on a reported basis and 20% on a pro forma basis. The beat was driven by a combination of favorable mix, productivity gains, and strong execution in healthcare, with management quick to note that the macro backdrop, particularly the Middle East conflict and its effects on logistics and raw material costs, created meaningful headwinds that the business largely absorbed in the quarter.
