“We then used the proceeds to purchase more shares of DuPont. That purchase allows us greater exposure to DuPont and the (as-of-then) not-yet spun off Corteva business. When Corteva was spun off on June 1, 2019, DuPont shareholders received one share of Corteva for every three shares of DuPont which they owned. The remaining legacy DuPont (which boasts $23B in annual sales) is now listed under ticker symbol DD and sells lower volume/higher margin plastics and adhesives typically used in auto, consumer goods, and electronics end-markets. The company’s better margin profile is the result of intellectual property and specialized manufacturing processes which its competitors just don’t have.”
