International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) — Available-Data Snapshot
Updated Nov 10, 2026 · available-data snapshot · descriptive, not a DCF, not advice
We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.
On the numbers we do have, IFF trades at a recent price of $84.43, a market capitalisation of about $21,140,537,344, sitting 68% of the way up its 52-week range ($61.73–$95.27), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing IFF's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 241.2× (richer than the peer median of 31.6×); Fwd P/E of 21.8× (in line with the peer median of 20.0×); P/B of 1.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 4.9×); P/S of 1.9× (cheaper than the peer median of 4.9×); EV/EBITDA of 14.9× (cheaper than the peer median of 19.0×); Dividend yield of 1.9% (cheaper than the peer median of 1.0%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. IFF shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 1.59 and book value of $52.95 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. IFF is in a mixed trend, trading -11.4% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +31.6%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
