International Flavors & Fragrances (US4595061015) is trading at EUR 81.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 9:52 p.m. CEST. Barclays raised its price target for IFF from USD 96.00 to USD 105.00 in a research note dated October 16, 2026, as Markets Insider reported.

The latest reported quarter underlines why the target change matters. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, IFF posted revenue of USD 1.95 billion and net profit of USD 50.00 million, compared with USD 2.76 billion of revenue and USD 612.00 million of net profit a year earlier, according to Markets Insider.

Revenue remains the key measure

IFF's second-quarter revenue decline of 29.00 percent was accompanied by a sharp fall in net profit from USD 612.00 million to USD 50.00 million. The figures give investors a concrete test for the next results release: whether sales stabilize after the June 2026 quarter.

Stock sits below its yearly high

At the NYSE, IFF had a market capitalization of USD 23.3 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 84.48 as of October 20, 2026. The 52-week range was USD 61.30 to USD 92.02, placing the current home-market quote below the upper end of that range. The Lang & Schwarz euro quotation reflects the German trading perspective and is not combined with the NYSE price.

What dates matter next?

IFF plans to release its third-quarter 2026 results on November 3, 2026, after the market closes, according to the company's investor-relations page. The earnings conference call is scheduled for November 4, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EST, giving investors two dated checkpoints for the next update, as International Flavors & Fragrances states.

Target increase meets weak quarter

Barclays' USD 105.00 target stands USD 23.82 above the EUR 81.18 German quotation only as a currency-separated reference; no direct percentage comparison is appropriate. The useful comparison is within IFF's own reporting: second-quarter revenue of USD 1.95 billion versus USD 2.76 billion a year earlier, alongside net profit of USD 50.00 million versus USD 612.00 million.

IFF was trading at EUR 81.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 9:52 p.m. CEST. The next earnings release on November 3, 2026 will provide the next reported test for revenue and profit.
