Corteva Inc Reports Q3 2026 Earnings Amidst Pricing Pressures and Brazilian Market Weakness
Corteva Inc (CTVA) reported third-quarter net sales of $1.59 billion, a 9% decline year-over-year. The company faced significant headwinds, particularly in Latin America where organic sales dropped 31% due to deteriorating grower economics and El Niño weather impacts in Brazil. Pricing pressures on specific molecules, including acetochlor in North America and several products in Brazil, contributed to a $230 million pricing headwind through the first nine months of the year. Despite these challenges, Corteva saw strong volume growth for new products, which increased by 20% globally. North American sales rose 7%, driven by a 19% volume increase that offset pricing declines. However, due to the severity of the Brazilian market downturn and inventory normalization issues, the company has revised its full-year operating EBITDA guidance downward to a range of $1.1 billion to $1.125 billion.
