We maintain our $140 per share fair value estimate for International Flavors and Fragrances after updating our model to incorporate the company's first-quarter results. Our wide moat rating is also unchanged. IFF shares were down 10% at the time of writing as the market reacted negatively to both the company's weak start to 2023 and management’s second-quarter guidance below consensus expectations.

IFF’s stock style is Mid Value.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
