Vylor has completed its separation from Corteva and launched as an independent publicly traded advanced seed and genetics company. Shares of Vylor began trading October 1, 2026, on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VYLR.
The company enters the public markets with what it describes as a $19 billion technology pipeline centered on 12 technology platform launches across corn, soybeans and wheat over the next decade.
Vylor plans to introduce seven new corn technology platforms beginning in 2028.
The pipeline includes a trait designed to improve yield and yield stability. In field trials across the Americas, the technology produced an average incremental yield of three bushels per acre, with gains reaching as much as 10 bushels per acre.
Vylor is also developing a gene-edited multi-disease-resistant corn platform intended to provide built-in protection against several major diseases.
In soybeans, the company plans four technology platform launches by 2035, including a next-generation platform for Latin America designed to combine broad-spectrum insect control with strong yield performance.
Vylor’s Xpedite system for creating proprietary hybrid wheat is scheduled to launch in North America in late 2027. The company said multi-year research trials have demonstrated strong yields and resilience to conditions including disease and drought.
Vylor One, the company’s licensing operation, is expected to generate more than $500 million in gross licensing income in 2027, more than $1 billion by 2035 and nearly $2 billion by 2040.
Vylor is targeting approximately $11.2 billion to $11.9 billion in net sales by 2029, representing annual growth of approximately 3% to 4%.
The company is also targeting approximately $3.3 billion to $3.7 billion of operating EBITDA by 2029.
