Rhizome Partners, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter, said that DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE: DD) will likely execute better results this 2021. DuPont de Nemours, Inc. is a technology-based, electronics, safety, and transportation solutions provider that currently has a $37.5 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, DD delivered a decent 11.57% return and settled at $69.79 per share at the closing of February 19th.
Here is what Rhizome Partners has to say about DuPont de Nemours, Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“DuPont is expected to merge its Nutrition and Bioscience business with International Flavors and Fragrances in early 2021. Auto sales and industrials, an area of weakness for DuPont earlier in 2020 will likely emerge much stronger in 2021. We believe these two factors have helped drive shares to over $71 at the end of Q4. Dupont has also been shedding non-core businesses with lower ROIC and growth prospects. The remaining segments are more pure-play and focused. Corteva, the previous DuPont agricultural focused spinoff, was recently targeted by activist investor Starboard Value which led to year-end price gains.”
