Investors were quick to snatch up shares, which drove prices up over 6% in the course of a week. The company also made Ford's (F: Charts, News, Offers) preferred supplier list, which is especially important since Ford has been consolidating its interactions with suppliers in the hopes of cutting down on costs. What does the buyback mean, and what is DuPont doing to reassert itself after a disappointing year to date?

Goldman Sachs (GS: Charts, News, Offers), an investment banking firm, agreed to head DuPont's 9-month stock repurchase binge, which will cut down outstanding shares by 8%.
