Analysis Accuracy
DuPont (DD) shows mixed financial health with a weak Piotroski F-Score of 4/9, indicating borderline stability, and lacks an Altman Z-Score for distress risk assessment. While the company demonstrates strong revenue growth and consistent earnings beat history, profitability is undermined by a negative net margin (-6.01%) and weak ROE (3.22%). Valuation appears stretched relative to Graham’s defensive standard ($46.13 vs. current $42.86), though below analyst target ($48.12). Bearish insider activity and a high dividend payout ratio (93%) raise sustainability concerns despite a solid yield (3.3%).
Key Strengths
Consistent quarterly earnings beats: 3 out of last 4 quarters beat estimates with strong average surprise of 8.28%
Revenue growth of 7.30% YoY outpaces sector average of 5.90%
Strong operating margin at 17.77%, well above sector average of 8.96%
Current ratio of 2.00 indicates solid short-term liquidity
Analyst consensus is strong_buy with a $48.12 target price, implying ~12% upside
Key Risks
Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 suggests weak financial health; below the 7+ threshold for strength
Negative profit margin (-6.01%) indicates net losses despite positive operating income
High dividend payout ratio (93.06%) threatens sustainability, especially with weak earnings coverage
Bearish insider sentiment: 4 sell transactions totaling $6.31M in last 6 months, no buys
Technical trend score of 10/100 signals strong bearish momentum near-term
