International Flavors & Fragrances (ISIN US4595061015) was trading at EUR 75.73 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 3:04 p.m. CEST, up 1.16 percent versus the prior close of EUR 74.86. The latest operating figures show modest reported growth alongside a sharper improvement in adjusted earnings.

Q2 revenue grows 1.80 percent

For the second quarter of 2026, continuing-operations revenue reached USD 1.954 billion, compared with USD 1.919 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Financial Report Insights also reported 6.00 percent like-for-like sales growth, driven mainly by higher volumes.

The headline earnings picture was more complicated. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations fell to USD 0.13 from USD 2.14 in the year-earlier quarter, partly because the prior period included one-time gains and the latest quarter included USD 71 million of regulatory costs.

Adjusted EPS rises 6.50 percent

Adjusted EPS excluding amortization increased to USD 0.82 in Q2 2026 from USD 0.77 a year earlier. Adjusted operating EBITDA reached USD 408 million, up 2.30 percent from USD 399 million, with an adjusted operating EBITDA margin of 20.90 percent.

IFF's continuing businesses are now centered on Taste, Health and Biosciences, and Scent after the portfolio changes described in the Q2 analysis. Scent posted 8.00 percent like-for-like sales growth, the strongest of the three major segments, but its like-for-like margin declined to 19.40 percent from 19.90 percent.
