Vylor (NYSE: VYLR), an advanced seed and genetics company, announced today it completed its separation from Corteva Inc., into an independent, publicly traded company and will begin trading later today, October 1, 2026, under the symbol "VYLR" on the New York Stock Exchange.
"Vylor was created to reimagine agriculture," said Vylor CEO Chuck Magro. "Our ambition is to work with farmers of all sizes to solve some of the world's toughest challenges – food security to energy security – and in the process, help farmers and communities thrive. Agriculture has always had technology at its core and today, from hybrid wheat to next gen corn, gene editing to biofuels, Vylor aims to harness the next generation of technology to propel the industry forward. And we can't wait to get started."
The company is home to a $19 billion technology pipeline, anchored by 12 groundbreaking technology platform launches in corn, soy and wheat in the next decade, including the following:
Corn
Vylor will launch seven new corn technology platforms over the next decade – starting in 2028 – including the industry's first-ever trait designed to improve yield and yield stability. In field trials across the Americas, the trait delivered an incremental three bushels per acre on average, with gains of up to 10 bushels per acre1. In addition, Vylor is developing the industry's first gene-edited multi-disease resistant corn platform, designed to provide built-in protection against multiple major diseases, while helping farmers protect yield potential and reduce crop management complexity.
Soybeans
Four new technology platforms will launch by 2035, including a proprietary, next generation technology platform for Latin America that will include the broadest spectrum of insect control on the market while also delivering strong yields for farmers and significant licensing opportunities for Vylor.
Wheat
Xpedite™, the system used to create Vylor's proprietary hybrid wheat, will launch in North America in late 2027. Multi-year research trials demonstrate and confirm the hybrid wheat's consistently strong yields as well as its yield stability, or resilience against a variety of adverse conditions including disease and drought.
In addition, via Vylor One, its licensing business, the company expects to deliver more than $500 million in gross licensing income in 2027, over $1 billion by 2035, and approach $2 billion by 2040.
Vylor is targeting net sales of approximately $11.2 billion to $11.9 billion by 2029, representing 3% to 4% annual growth over the planning period, and operating EBITDA of approximately $3.3 billion to $3.7 billion by 2029. The company's 2026 Investor Day presentation can be found here.
