3. DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:DD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 47

Discussing DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:DD), Cramer remarked:

“Oh, DuPont. Okay, DuPont announced after the close that they’re accelerating the spinoff of one of the divisions and they’re keeping the other, and I think it’s gonna bring out more value. I say you hold on to DuPont, it’s very cheap versus the rest of the group.”

DuPont (NYSE:DD) offers innovative materials and solutions for various global markets, focusing on sectors like electronics, safety, water purification, and other specialized industries. In November 2024, during his daily Mad Dash, Cramer said:

“I want to focus on Dupont because Dupont did a classic beat and raise, moved up the timeline of the split of three companies And… what I want to say is that you have electronics industrial, which is really strong… You have water and protection, China, very strong, they came in with water orders, but… I want to know, when you’re splitting into three and you have one division that seems to be attractive to the other, water and protection…it’s possible that someone may just say, you know, I want that company while you guys are splitting up and that’s what I think could happen.”

Cramer praised Lori Koch, describing her as an excellent CEO of DuPont (NYSE:DD) and noting that she is the successor to Ed Breen. The company announced on January 15 that it would not spin off its water business but would still proceed with separating its electronics division, following earlier plans to split into three publicly traded companies for focused growth.
