What the filing says
IFF reported Q3 2026 continuing-operations sales of $1.94B (+4% YoY), adjusted operating EBITDA of $403M (+6% currency-neutral), and adjusted EPS ex-amortization of $0.83. Management raised the low end of FY 2026 sales guidance to $7.5–7.6B (from $7.4–7.6B) and adjusted EBITDA to $1.55–1.60B (from $1.53–1.60B), citing solid year-to-date performance. The company completed a $500M accelerated share repurchase and expects the Food Ingredients divestiture to close by end-Q2 2027. However, Q3 reported loss before taxes was $(134)M, driven by $236M loss on held-for-sale assets (Botanicals and CitraSource businesses).
Why this rating
Guidance raise and buyback completion are positive, but modest relative to $18.8B market cap; organic growth 3–4% is routine. Material divestiture losses and elevated regulatory costs offset operational gains.
