Qnity Electronics, recently spun off from DuPont, experienced a positive surge in its market debut on the New York Stock Exchange Monday, drawing immediate attention from market analysts. CNBC’s Jim Cramer swiftly endorsed the stock. “We hold a promising position in Qnity, but we recognize the potential for further investment,” Cramer commented during Monday’s Morning Meeting. The CNBC Investing Club received 812 shares of Qnity, distributed at a rate of one Qnity share for every two DuPont shares already held. This allocation positions Qnity at 2.04% of the Charitable Trust’s holdings as of Monday, contrasting with DuPont’s 1.45% weighting.
Now liberated from the complexities of DuPont’s diverse portfolio – encompassing healthcare, water solutions, and diversified industrials – Qnity is poised to capitalize on the burgeoning semiconductor market driven by the AI revolution. The Club intends to maintain its remaining DuPont shares.
Qnity Electronics commenced trading on Monday, November 3, 2025, focusing primarily on providing solutions to the semiconductor industry, with over 65% of its offerings directly linked to this sector. Qnity specializes in manufacturing chemicals and materials integral to semiconductor production, which are essential for powering a wide array of technologies, from smartphones to advanced AI data centers.The company’s strategic positioning within the semiconductor supply chain is anticipated to deliver significant benefits as the sector expands.
Qnity projects a substantial expansion of the global semiconductor market, forecasting a rise to $1.3 trillion by 2030, up from the current $740 billion. This growth is largely driven by the increasing demand for advanced data centers crucial for handling intensive AI workloads. Major technology firms are committing billions to AI infrastructure investments, which strengthens the outlook for companies like Qnity. Jon Kemp, CEO of Qnity, revealed to CNBC on Monday that approximately 15% of the company’s sales are already attributable to AI data centers. “We are at the heart of transformative trends reshaping the modern economy,” Kemp emphasized, also noting opportunities in high-performance computing, robotics, autonomous driving, and factory automation.
Qnity has cultivated robust partnerships with industry leaders, including Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), and Samsung Electronics. These strategic alliances position the company to take advantage of emerging opportunities within the rapidly evolving semiconductor landscape. “We are strategically positioned to empower the chips that are powering the modern economy,” Kemp stated during an interview on “Squawk on the Street.”
Qnity plans to deliver a business update following Thursday’s market close, an event keenly anticipated by investors. Wall Street analysts have expressed positive sentiment toward Qnity, with BMO Capital Markets, KeyBanc, and RBC Capital all initiating coverage of the stock with buy-equivalent ratings last week. Wolfe Research followed this Monday, issuing a buy rating and a $110 price target. This collective bullishness reinforces Qnity’s potential as a key player during the growth phase in AI and semiconductors. “This deal presents a fresh avenue for investors seeking to participate in the themes we frequently discuss,” Cramer observed on Monday.
During its debut, Qnity shares appreciated by over 2%, reaching approximately $97 each, while DuPont shares, adjusted to account for the spin-off, also saw an increase of nearly 2%. Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis, mentioned in Monday’s Homestretch that the Club has plans to issue price targets for both Qnity and the remaining DuPont shares in the coming days. He further noted that a clearer understanding of the situation would be available following DuPont’s earnings report on Thursday morning and Qnity’s investor update on Thursday evening.
