DowDuPont: Down But Not Out

Summary Points:

- The company recently reported Q4 2017 results that beat the consensus revenue and earnings estimates.

- The stock is down on a YTD basis but I believe that it would be wise for long-term investors to use any pullbacks as buying opportunities.

- DWDP shares are a long-term buy at today's price.

On February 1, 2018, DowDuPont ($DWDP) reported Q4 2017 financial results that beat analysts' top- and bottom-line estimates, but the company's stock was pulled down with the broader market selloff.

DWDP shares also have underperformed the S&P 500 over the last year, but I expect for this to change in 2018 and for the company's stock to be a market beater over the next two years. To this point, I believe that DowDuPont is now in a position to create a tremendous amount of shareholder value over the next 18-24 months and, in my opinion, the company's latest results/guidance showed me that my investment thesis is still intact.
