In a remarkable development, DuPont de Nemours (DD) has announced plans to split into three independent entities. As a result of this restructuring, the company's stocks witnessed a surge, hitting a new 52-week high post the upgrade by Wells Fargo from 'neutral' to 'overweight'. Its shares also received a price target increase to $100.00 by Mizuho. However, Clearbridge Investments LLC has significantly reduced its holdings, selling DD shares. The spectacular Q1 2024 earnings outperformed estimates amidst a slight sales decline, pushing DD further down the momentum track. Nevertheless, there have been discussions about elevated risks to shareholder returns at these prices with several stocks traders buying high volume of call options. Strong International Revenue trends indicate a promising future. However, decoding the company also reveals a potential gross underperformance as compared to competitors. Despite all this, DD's dividend will be increased to $0.38, though strategic challenges in 2023 led to mixed results, including an 8% decrease in net sales for Q3.
