DuPont Q2 2026 beats guidance on 4% organic growth, raises full-year outlook, targets mid-teen acquisition multiples in Water and Healthcare CDMO pipeline.

DuPont delivered Q2 2026 net sales of $1.8 billion on 4% organic growth, with operating EBITDA of $448 million up 8% year-over-year and margin expansion of 80 basis points, exceeding its own guidance for the second consecutive quarter. Management raised full-year 2026 organic growth guidance to slightly above 4%, lifted the operating EBITDA midpoint to $1.760 billion, and increased adjusted EPS guidance midpoint to $7.24 — an 18% increase versus prior-year pro forma. The most strategically significant disclosure is DuPont's explicit acquisition valuation discipline: management stated it targets mid-teen multiples on a gross basis, with a goal of reaching lower-teens net of synergies, and confirmed over $1 billion in available M&A capacity focused on Water and Healthcare CDMO assets.
