Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) lowered its price target on International Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE:IFF) to $85.00 from $90.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock.
The firm cited pressure in the company’s Fragrance Ingredients segment due to headwinds in commodities from low-cost competition, which offset growth in specialty ingredients during the second quarter of 2025.
Despite these challenges, Wells Fargo noted that IFF’s EBITDA margins reached approximately 15% in Q2 2025, representing a 200 basis point improvement year-over-year.
The company is responding to competitive pressures by investing in new molecule development to increase its focus on specialty ingredients and reduce its exposure to commodities, according to Wells Fargo’s analysis.
The new $85 price target is based on 13 times Wells Fargo’s 2026 EBITDA estimate of $2.1 billion, which falls below the low end of IFF’s historical trading range of 14-19 times EBITDA.
