DUPONT DE NEMOURS, INC. vs Solstice Advanced Materials Inc., two Chemicals stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Two specialty names, opposite trajectories. Solstice Advanced Materials, recently spun off, earns a 22.61% return on equity and an 8.93% net margin, and the market pays a rich 8.87 times book for it. DuPont, a larger diversified chemicals maker, is near breakeven after impairment charges, so return on equity sits around zero and no earnings multiple applies; it trades at 3.94 times book. Solstice carries heavier debt, 1.33 to equity, against DuPont's roughly zero net debt. Free cash favors Solstice slightly, 2.59% versus -0.59%. A high-return newcomer priced for its returns, beside an established franchise working through a weak patch.
