Debt tells much of the story here: Debt/EBITDA at 5.6× exceeds the sector median 2.1× by +162%, while ROE of -4.2% runs -124% below the sector median 17.2% — a pairing that puts balance-sheet strain and weak returns on capital in the same frame. The F-Score of 5/9 reflects that mix: profitability and efficiency sub-scores are soft, though the current ratio at 2.42 sits modestly above the sector median, offering some short-term cushion. EV/EBITDA of 102.5× against a sector median of 18.9× — +443% richer — means the market is not pricing in distress, yet the composite of 30/100 against the sector median captures how little in the fundamentals justifies that premium. Consensus is more constructive: analysts forecast a recovery, and the beat rate over eight quarters is strong, but with realized growth data absent from SEC filings, the forward case rests on expectation rather than a verified track record.

Priced at 6.2× of expected earnings; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
When DuPont reports on August 3, track whether Debt/EBITDA moves below its current 2.14×, which sits 2.6× above the sector median. Also check for any improvement in ROE, now 124% below the sector median at 17.2%, alongside year-over-year revenue direction and the F-Score profitability sub-score, currently 2/4.
Pull DuPont's most recent 10-K on SEC EDGAR and focus on management's discussion of debt structure behind the 2.14× Debt/EBITDA figure and the factors weighing on ROE. The risk factors section will clarify whether these are cyclical pressures or structural constraints specific to DuPont's current portfolio mix.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies and line up one metric — Debt/EBITDA or ROE — against DuPont's figures. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the comparison is yours to frame; the goal is to place DD's mixed F-Score of 5/9 in a sector-relative context rather than in isolation.
Steps you can check yourself, based on the figures in this brief.
