DuPont: First Half, Full Year 2008 Outlook

Friday 25. April 2008 - The company has reaffirmed its full-year 2008 earnings outlook of USD 3.40 to USD 3.55 per share and its first half 2008 earnings outlook for growth of about 10 percent, excluding significant items.

The company also said it continues to expect second quarter earnings of about USD 1.05 per share.
For the remainder of 2008, the company expects that slowing demand in U.S. markets, including construction and motor vehicle, will offset growth in agriculture and other markets outside the United States.
