Corteva Agriscience Is Breaking In Two — What Changes After October 1?

Corteva Agriscience reported a solid performance in the first half of 2026, demonstrating resilience across its Seed and Crop Protection businesses amid a dynamic global environment. The company reported a 4% increase in net sales, a 10% increase in operating EBITDA, and a 14% increase in operating EPS compared to the prior year. Sales growth was supported by broad organic gains across all regions in Seed, driven by farmer demand for differentiated genetics and technology, and growth in licensing revenue. Crop Protection volumes increased on the back of new product adoption, although pricing faced competitive pressures, particularly in Latin America, resulting in flat or modestly declining prices. The company’s productivity initiatives, cost management, and favorable currency movements contributed significantly to margin expansion, with the operating EBITDA margin improving to 32.8% for the first half.
