International Flavors & Fragrances ( (IFF) ) has shared an announcement.
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. is a global producer of flavors, fragrances and specialty ingredients for the food, beverage and consumer products industries. Its Food Ingredients business spans texturants, emulsifiers, plant-based solutions and other value-added components supplied to multinational food and drink manufacturers, positioning IFF as a key partner in formulation and taste solutions.
IFF is executing a strategic portfolio shift by selling its Food Ingredients business to funds advised by CVC Capital Partners, while retaining about a 10% minority stake to preserve collaboration and future upside. Combined with the March 2, 2026 sale of its Soy Crush, Concentrates and Lecithin unit, the divestitures are treated as discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP, with recast unaudited 2025–early 2026 financials furnished to help investors assess the impact on ongoing operations and financial performance.
The most recent analyst rating on (IFF) stock is a Buy
with a $90.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on IFF Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, IFF is a Neutral.
IFF scores as a moderate-quality opportunity driven mainly by improving but still inconsistent financial performance (profit rebound and moderating leverage, tempered by multi-year volatility and weak cash conversion). Technicals add incremental support with the price above key moving averages and positive MACD. The latest earnings call reinforces the recovery narrative via reaffirmed guidance and Q1 margin gains, but near-term margin/cost headwinds and pricing timing risks keep the score from moving higher; valuation is reasonable but not clearly cheap at a ~23x P/E.
