International Flavors & Fragrances is the largest specialty ingredients producer globally. It sells ingredients for the food, beverage, health, household goods, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. The company makes proprietary formulations and partners with customers to deliver custom solutions. Through its taste and scent segments, which each generate around 25% of profits, IFF is a leading flavor and fragrance producer. The health and biosciences business, which generates 30% of profits, is a global leader in probiotics and enzymes. The remaining profits come from the food ingredients business, which sells texturants, plant-based proteins, and other ingredients, though IFF plans to divest it in a deal expected to close in 2027.

What the manager wrote
International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) is a leading producer of ingredients for food, beverage, personal care, health, and household products industries. Despite past challenges due to reckless capital allocation and poor management, a new CEO is refocusing the company on operational excellence and divesting non-core assets. This strategy is expected to reduce leverage and improve margins. IFF's current ~$4 of free cash flow could increase to $5-6 in a few years, and if successful, its P/E ratio should align more closely with peers. With the stock at $61, the downside appears limited, and there is a reasonable path for the stock price to double over the next few years.
