Trading above historical range
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 15.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: IFF is currently trading at $77.53, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $73.95 to $79.82. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 16.1) is in line with its historical norms (15.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.0% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, IFF is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $72.21, while resistance sits at $81.17.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals.
