For the second quarter, DuPont expects a sequential improvement in sales and earnings, attributed to favorable seasonal factors, continued recovery in the electronics sector and a decline in channel inventory destocking across industrial-based end-markets such as water and medical packaging. Looking forward to the second half of 2024, the company expects year-over-year sales and earnings growth, driven by the ongoing recovery in the electronics market and a return to volume growth in the Water & Protection segment.
