Corteva stock adjusts following court clearance of Vylor Inc. separation

A U.S. District Court denied California's motion to block Corteva Inc.'s planned spinoff of its seed business into Vylor Inc., allowing the separation to proceed on October 1, 2026. Corteva's stock dropped about 75% as the equity value transferred to Vylor. The court noted California's late filing, and the lawsuit alleges the split shields assets from environmental liabilities.
