Following Monday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 870 shares of DD, increasing its weighting to 2.15% from 1.78%. To be fair, the stock deserved to be dinged because it was a mixed quarter from the chemical and material manufacturer. While Q3 beat estimates on EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), the company lowered its full-year outlook below Street expectations, mostly to reflect some ongoing softness in consumer electronics demand and slower water demand in China. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade. Jim waits 45 minutes after sending a trade alert before buying or selling a stock in his charitable trust's portfolio.

But we remain optimistic the specialty chemicals company's electronics business will turn next year, leading to revived growth. At the same time, DuPont raised concerns about its water and safety solutions business due to ongoing destocking and a weaker China. The electronics and industrial segment is comprised of three subunits: semiconductor technologies, interconnect solutions and industrial solutions. Guidance DuPont shaved its full-year net sales outlook to about $12.17 billion, from a previous range of $12.45 billion to $12.55 billion. The company cited additional channel inventory destocking and slow industrial demand in China, mostly in its water solutions business, for its revised guidance.

China's slowing economy is chipping away at some American companies' revenues. China's July economic report didn't mention youth-unemployment statistics after it soared to 21.3% in the second quarter, citing economic and social changes. While Chinese manufacturing and construction are struggling to recover, some American companies with strong ties to China are also feeling the effects. Dow's rival DuPont also reported a drop in China sales from existing operations, a 14% year-over-year fall. To be sure, some American companies have performed well in China over the past few months.

DuPont CEO Ed Breen To Stay on After Contract Expires

DuPont Inc. Chief Executive Edward Breen said that he has agreed with the materials maker’s board to stay in his job after his contract expires at the end of the year. Mr. Breen, who has led DuPont since returning to the company’s top job in February 2020, said investors have frequently asked whether he’ll retire when his contract is up, and that he and the board wanted to take that question off the table.
Executives are aggressively paying down debt as higher interest rates increase the cost associated with having debt and businesses face the prospect of a recession. As a result, some are taking steps to rein in expenses and cut interest costs, while others are looking to put cash reserves to work as their bank deposits continue to generate minimal yields. Beauty paid an annual interest rate of 4.9% on the loan, according to Mandy Fields, the company’s chief financial officer. About two-thirds of the loan carried a 5% interest rate that was fixed through a swap, which was set to expire in 2025. The two transactions reduced KAR’s annual interest costs by $70 million, to an estimated $15 million a year, Mr. Loughmiller said.
