Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 15 valuation models · updated yesterday
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $22.43 to $44.86 (+100.0%) since Jul 15, 2026. Share price +12.6% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 47% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($67.96). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($21.78 to $67.96). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (47/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc (IFF) currently trades at $84.06, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $44.86, implying the stock looks roughly 46.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc generated revenue of $10.8B at a net margin of 7.7%. Revenue declined 3.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.1%. Net debt stands at $6.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $21.78 (bear case) to $67.96 (bull case); at $84.06, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at -47%, IFF screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($37.14) versus Growth DCF ($1.79). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
