DuPont raises full-year forecasts on strong electronics, AI-tech demand

Industrial materials maker DuPont de Nemours raised full-year forecasts on Wednesday, benefiting from strong demand for electronics and artificial intelligence-based technology that helped it beat second-quarter results.

After widely destocking last year due to low demand, an uptick in the manufacturing sector is benefiting companies that make chemicals and other materials used in a variety of industries including automotive and electronics.
