IFF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) has demonstrated a positive financial trajectory, with net sales reaching $2,771 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 3% and exceeding consensus estimates. The company has experienced consistent volume growth for five consecutive quarters, with high single-digit growth reported in 3Q24 across all business segments, including a notable improvement in Functional Ingredients. Additionally, favorable M&A activity and market share gains from competitors present potential upside risks that could further enhance IFF's growth prospects in the future.
Bears say
International Flavors & Fragrances faces several fundamental challenges that contribute to a negative outlook on its stock, primarily driven by macroeconomic weakness, competitive pressures, and higher-than-anticipated foreign exchange (FX) headwinds impacting EBITDA. The company’s ongoing financial leverage, projected to decline to approximately 3x by the end of 2025 owing to the anticipated sale of its Pharma segment, indicates a reliance on asset divestiture for financial improvement rather than operational performance. Additionally, the reduction in sales and earnings per share estimates for 2025-2026, exacerbated by unfavorable FX movements, reflects underlying financial vulnerabilities that may hinder recovery and long-term growth prospects.
