Corteva

Corteva is a pure-play agriculture company spun off from DowDuPont, combining seed and crop protection businesses under one roof. It sells hybrid seeds, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides to farmers worldwide, and invests heavily in trait development and genetics to improve yields. Its scale places it among the leading players in global agricultural inputs. Since becoming independent, Corteva has paid a small but steadily rising dividend, backed by a young distribution history of several years. The yield is low, so the appeal lies more in growth than in current income. The profile is that of a solid, moderately rated payer building a track record rather than an established income stock.
