Aristotle Value Equity Fund Howard Gleicher | “Corteva, the seed and crop protection company, was one of the largest detractors during the period. While fundamentals remained healthy, with first-quarter FREE cash flow supported by strength in both Seed and Crop Protection, the stock lagged a sharply rising market as investors focused on Corteva's more tempered outlook for the balance of the year. The management team cited potential second-half headwinds from tariffs, higher oil-related input costs, farmer fuel expenses, and competitive crop protection pricing in Latin America and Asia. We believe the market also weighed the near-term complexity of Corteva's planned fourth-quarter separation into New Corteva and Vylor, including potential dis-synergies from operating two public companies. Nevertheless, our investment thesis remains intact. Farmers continue to adopt Corteva's latest hybrids, varieties, and premium crop protection technologies, supporting Corteva's margin expansion. Meanwhile, the company's R&D-led innovation, disciplined cost management, and path toward net royalty income should enhance its long-term competitive position. Management has remained steadfast in returning shareholder value, with $500 million of share repurchases in the first half of the year. Finally, Corteva remains opportunistic as exemplified by its partnership with FMC Corporation to expand its product and technology portfolio.” | BEAR | Q2 2026 Aug 10, 2026 | View Pitch |

Hardman Johnston Global Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “Quarterly Liquidations: Corteva Inc. BSD Analysis: Corteva is a high-quality agriculture input company benefiting from global food security concerns. Seed genetics and crop protection products provide pricing power farmers are willing to pay for. Innovation cycles are long, creating durable customer relationships. Input cost inflation has eased, supporting margin recovery. Weather volatility increases demand for resilient crop solutions. Investors often trade Corteva like a commodity business, which misses the IP content. Cash generation supports reinvestment and returns. Agriculture is political, but necessity always wins. Corteva's moat is science, not acreage.” | BEAR | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Hardman Johnston Large Cap Equity Hardman Johnston Global Advisors LLC | “Corteva's shares declined after soft grain prices and renewed U.S. farm subsidy proposals dampened investor optimism. The company's outlook has been questioned amid potential yield disincentives and regulatory uncertainty. BSD Analysis: Corteva's fundamentals remain sound, with diversified exposure across seeds and crop protection. Near-term headwinds from pricing and policy risk weigh on sentiment, but innovation and cost control provide medium-term recovery levers.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
