What we can say
We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, IFF trades at a recent price of $90.85, a market capitalisation of about $23,194,320,896, sitting 97% of the way up its 52-week range ($61.30–$91.88), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing IFF's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 90.0× (richer than the peer median of 31.5×); Fwd P/E of 23.1× (richer than the peer median of 20.8×); P/B of 1.7× (cheaper than the peer median of 5.0×); P/S of 2.2× (cheaper than the peer median of 4.8×); EV/EBITDA of 15.1× (cheaper than the peer median of 18.4×); Dividend yield of 1.8% (cheaper than the peer median of 1.0%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. IFF shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 1.66 and book value of $54.74 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. IFF is in an up-trend (price above both its 50- and 200-day averages), trading -1.1% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +40.3%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
