Key risks (from latest filing)
["Significant decline in revenue (-22.51% YoY) and current unprofitability (-0.3% net margin) following major divestitures and spin-offs, creating execution risk around realizing intended benefits from portfolio restructuring","PFAS-related litigation, remediation costs, and regulatory changes, including shared cost arrangements with Corteva and Chemours, could result in material financial liabilities and ongoing legal disputes","Risk that the Qnity Distribution fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, potentially exposing DuPont to significant federal, state, and foreign tax liabilities"]
