I look for a durable business bought at a sensible price. DuPont sells specialty materials and water filtration, with 15,000 employees, so there is real industrial substance. But the reported record gives me pause. In fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, DuPont lost $779.0 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, after earning $703.0 million in fiscal 2024 and $423.0 million in fiscal 2023. The Lynch category is TURNAROUND, and that fits: a loss in the latest year after earlier profits. Recent quarters are better: fiscal Q1 2026, ended 2026-03-31, had net income of $161.0 million on $1.7 billion of revenue; fiscal Q2 2026, ended 2026-06-30, had $143.0 million on $1.8 billion. Still, those profits are not yet enough to offset the prior loss. At the 2026-10-13 close of $129.55, FairStock calculations show a P/E of 55.36, P/B of 1.27, ROE of 1.79%, ROCE of 2.07%, and EV/EBITDA of 20.21. Graham Number is $73.27, leaving a margin of safety of -76.81%, so the price is well above asset-and-earnings based value. The balance sheet has D/E of 0.23, and TTM free cash flow is $647.0 million for a 3.7% FCF yield. But Altman Z-Score is 0.13 and Piotroski is 5/9, and FairStock Score is 28/100. The company may be fixing itself, but the market already pays a high price for that hope. I would need proof of durable margin recovery before calling this a bargain.

In plain English: DuPont makes specialty materials and water filtration products for medical, packaging, and industrial uses. The business looks mixed: it lost money in the latest full year after earlier profits, but the two most recent quarters were profitable. At the current price, the shares look expensive relative to the company's profits and asset value.
