    "excerpt": "Aug 4 (Reuters) – Industrial materials maker DuPont raised its annual profit forecasts on Tuesday after beating second-quarter estimates, driven by price hikes and the impact of ​its capital deployment measures. The company has benefited from ‌capital deployment actions such as the spin-off of its electronics business, debt reduction and share repurchases, as well as surcharges and price increases to offset higher feedstock and energy costs, at a time ‌when ​the global chemicals industry has also ⁠grappled with weak demand in ⁠key end-markets. Ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz since late February have disrupted oil and petrochemical flows, tightening global chemical supplies and driving up plastics and polymer ​prices. The company lifted its 2026 adjusted core profit outlook to between $1.75 billion and $1.77 billion, from $1.73 billion to $1.76 billion ⁠forecast previously. It now expects adjusted earnings ⁠per share of $7.17 to $7.32, up from a prior ​forecast of $7.02 to $7.16 - a range that the company has restated ​to reflect its 1-for-3 reverse stock split, which ‌took effect in June. CFO Antonella Franzen said continued strength across healthcare, industrial water and aerospace end-markets is expected to drive mid-single-digit organic sales growth in the second half of ⁠the year. Net sales at its healthcare and water technologies segment rose nearly 5%...",
