Adjusted earnings came to $2.09 a share, beating the consensus estimate, on net sales of $1.9 billion, up 4% from a year earlier. Organic sales rose 5%, with a 1% currency headwind trimming the reported figure. Operating EBITDA increased 8% to $469 million, and the company said growth was led by its healthcare and aerospace businesses.

DuPont now expects 2026 adjusted earnings of $7.47 to $7.52 a share, above the $7.25 consensus cited by Investing.com, with organic growth of about 4.5% for the year. For the fourth quarter it guided to adjusted earnings of $1.90 to $1.95 a share, against a consensus of $1.88. The company also said it intends to repurchase $250 million of shares in the fourth quarter.

The stock was trading at $152.20 as of 11:02 a.m. ET on the New York Stock Exchange, up $10.90, or 7.71%, from Monday's regular-session price of $141.30, according to Nasdaq.com quote data. The gain came on a mixed morning for the broader market, with the Dow lower while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq traded higher on Election Day. Prices can keep moving through the session.
