The content discusses the sale of 70 shares of DuPont at $76.34, reducing Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust ownership to 800 shares. This trade decreases the weighting of DuPont in the portfolio from 2.09% to 1.93%. The decision to sell the shares comes as DuPont has seen a 14% increase in stock price since purchase in February when shares were around $67. The stock had initially dropped due to weak guidance for 2024, but has since recovered with positive order growth and commentary from CEO Ed Breen. The company’s exposure to the electronics industry and reasonable valuation supports a positive outlook for DuPont, despite concerns about inventory destocking. The trust will realize a small loss of 2% on the stock purchased in 2023.
The confidence in DuPont’s future growth is based on the company’s presence in the electronics industry and artificial intelligence spending through its semiconductor business. The stock’s reasonable valuation in comparison to its peers adds to the positive outlook for potential future gains. However, concerns about the stock possibly being overvalued and ahead of inventory destocking have led to the decision to trim the position and downgrade the rating to a 2. This indicates a wait for a potential pullback before considering further purchases. Despite these factors, the trust remains optimistic about DuPont’s prospects for the future, particularly as the electronics industry undergoes a multiyear recovery.
