Stockholder Return
The form of the chart presented below is in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholders are cautioned against drawing any conclusions from the data contained therein, as past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. The chart illustrates the cumulative total return of the Company's stock based on a presumed investment of $100 on December 31, 2017 and a presumption that all dividends were reinvested. The historical stock prices of DuPont presented in the chart have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the DWDP Distributions and the Reverse Stock Split. The Company elected to display the closing price on May 31, 2019, the day preceding the Corteva Distribution, in order to provide the reader a more useful baseline for the Company's performance as a specialty products company after consummation of the DWDP Distributions. The chart does not reflect the Company's forecast of future financial performance.
In 2022, the Company elected to change the relative benchmark group from S&P Industrial Conglomerates Index to S&P Industrials Index in order to include companies that are more aligned with DuPont following the M&M Divestiture. Accordingly, the Company will begin comparing the cumulative total return of DuPont to the cumulative total return of both the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Industrials Index in the following graph. S&P Industrial Conglomerates Index was included for this fiscal year only for comparative purposes to prior fiscal year graphs.
