Strengths
Still spending $2 billion per year on research and development
Invented world-changing products used in a diverse array of industries
Weaknesses
DuPont is a huge business, including being the fourth largest chemical company in the world, so it can be difficult to produce growth
DuPont's stock price remains below that of its 1999 highs
Opportunities
The company is paring down its offerings in order to show growth, such as by selling off its performance chemical business
Threats
Activist investors, such as Nelson Peltz, have made attempts to gain board seats in a bid to split up the company. Internal management issues could spell future trouble for the business
