INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY

Trading above fair value
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 15.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: IFF is currently trading at $69.81, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $67.32 to $71.70. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 15.6) is in line with its historical norms (15.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.6% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, IFF is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $68.37. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $82.37 (+18.3%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
