Some Factors to Watch For
DuPont is expected to have benefited from healthy underlying demand in several end markets, including water and general industrial in the March quarter. It is expected to have witnessed sustained strength in water and automotive adhesives and stable demand across industrial end-markets including aerospace and healthcare.
The company is also likely to have benefited from its cost and productivity actions in the quarter to be reported. Its structural cost actions are likely to have contributed to its bottom line in the quarter.
DuPont is also expected to have gained from its pricing actions. It continues to implement strategic price increases to offset the cost inflation. These actions are likely to have supported its results in the first quarter.
However, the company is likely to have faced challenges from higher raw material and logistics costs in the first quarter. Supply constraints for major raw materials are expected to have continued in the quarter. Higher energy costs driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict are also expected to have impacted its results.
DuPont is also expected to have witnessed softness in the consumer electronics and semiconductor markets in the March quarter. It is expected to have witnessed lower volumes during the quarter in consumer electronics and semiconductors due to reduced consumer spending, inventory destocking and the impacts of COVID-related restrictions in China. A slowdown in semiconductor fab production rates may also have impacted its performance in the first quarter.
Here are some companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider, as our model shows these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
