$DD ACCE Score Drops 10 Points to 47 — What Changed
DuPont de Nemours $DD sees its ACCE composite score fall from 57 to 47. Here's what the subscore breakdown reveals and why the move warrants attention.
$DD (DuPont de Nemours) just recorded a 10-point drop in its ACCE composite score, moving from 57 to 47 out of 100. That is a meaningful single-step decline. The current breakdown reads: Growth 28, Value 63, Quality 51.
A move of this magnitude typically reflects deterioration in one or more of those three subscore pillars. Looking at where $DD currently sits, the Growth score of 28 stands out as the weakest link by a wide margin. Year-over-year earnings are down 66.9%, while revenue grew only 4.3%. A trailing P/E of 41.3 sits well above the forward P/E of 19.6, which signals the market is pricing in a recovery that has not yet shown up in reported earnings. When earnings fall that sharply, growth-oriented scoring models penalise heavily, and a score in the high 20s reflects exactly that pressure.
The Quality score of 51 sits at the midpoint. Net margin is currently negative at -0.4%, and ROE stands at just 0.9% — both figures that quality models treat as warning signs. The FCF yield of 5.5% and a strong earnings quality flag provide some offset, which likely keeps the Quality score from falling further, but they are not enough to lift it.

The Value score of 63 is the one area providing support. The analyst consensus target of $170.44 sits well above the current price of $138.99. However, ACCE's own 6-model fair value estimate comes in at $38.99, implying the stock trades at a significant premium to that blended intrinsic value calculation. That tension between analyst optimism and model-derived fair value is worth watching closely.
What it means
A composite score of 47 places $DD below the neutral threshold of 50. The 1-year return of +387.0% is extraordinary, but that kind of run can itself create scoring headwinds: momentum that has already played out contributes less to forward-looking scores, and elevated valuations compress value metrics.
The combination of a deeply negative earnings trend, thin margins, and a stock price that sits far above the 6-model fair value estimate of $38.99 gives the scoring models plenty of reasons to downgrade. If earnings recover and close the gap between the trailing and forward P/E, the Growth score has room to rebuild. Until that happens, the 10-point drop reflects real fundamental stress rather than a data anomaly.
The 2.5% dividend yield provides some income cushion, and the strong earnings quality flag suggests the underlying cash generation is not entirely broken. But with a Growth score of 28 dragging the composite, $DD will need tangible earnings improvement to reclaim a score above 50.
