In recent developments concerning
International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), its shares have been a point of interest for several investment firms. Large shares have bought and sold by institutions such as
Raymond James & Associates and
Fifth Third Wealth Advisors LLC. IFF's portfolio has also been adjusted by analysts with its
dividend seeing a reduction. Despite some unfavorable situations like fines from the
EU for obstructing a suspected fragrance cartel investigation, IFF has shown resilience in its revenue performance. Recent activities also show IFF selling its
Pharma Solutions business and being boosted with
strategic partnerships and shareholder adjustments. New appointments in its management, including the CEO and Board of Directors, and significant investment by
Dodge & Cox suggest solid institutional support. However, current valuation appears tricky, and its financial leverage and EPS have missed some expectations. More positive trends include topping sales guidance, analyst upgrades and higher volumes influencing second quarter earnings. Future-oriented steps like the opening of an Innovation Centre in Shanghai and a focus on health and environment are noted as potential stock drivers.
