Deep Analysis

The current EV/EBITDA of 13.9x means that for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) the company generates, investors are valuing its entire enterprise (debt plus equity minus cash) at roughly $13.90.

This sits slightly below the sector median of 14.3x, placing IFF in the 48th percentile among its peers — meaning about 48% of comparable companies have a lower multiple. Trend data is unavailable: the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the only historical value provided is 13.9x. Because the metric is near the sector midpoint and shows no directional movement, it implies neither a clear risk of overvaluation nor a distinct opportunity from a valuation discount. This level and lack of trend are consistent with the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the EV/EBITDA offers no strong signal to tilt the view toward bullish or bearish.
