DuPont Exceeds Quarterly Profit Expectations as Electronics Segment Benefits from Semiconductor Demand
May 5, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DuPont reported higher-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2025, supported by increased demand in its electronics and industrial segments. The company’s adjusted earnings per share came in at 79 cents, surpassing the average analyst estimate of 65 cents per share, according to data from LSEG.
The electronics and industrial segment posted an 8% increase in revenue, attributed to continued growth in advanced chip technologies and semiconductor materials used in artificial intelligence hardware. DuPont noted that demand from foundry customers and makers of logic and memory chips contributed to the increase.
Despite the performance in electronics, DuPont’s overall net sales for the quarter declined slightly to $2.93 billion, down from $3.02 billion in the same period a year earlier. The reported revenue was also slightly below analysts’ expectations of $2.99 billion.
Sales in the company’s water and protection segment fell 11% year-over-year, impacted by decreased demand for water filtration products and protective materials. DuPont stated that destocking and softer market conditions in this segment contributed to the decline.
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 financial outlook. DuPont continues to project total revenue between $12.1 billion and $12.4 billion, with adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.25 to $3.65.
This quarterly report follows DuPont’s ongoing strategic realignment, which has included efforts to streamline operations and focus more heavily on electronics, water technologies, and industrial materials.
