Is IFF overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, IFF's RSI(14) was 60.1, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $569.0M in cash, though total debt stands at $6.28B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company is burning cash, with free cash flow at -$1.72B. This typically occurs when a company is investing aggressively in growth, but sustained cash burn can strain the balance sheet. Return on equity stands at -5.5%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 2.3% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $11.66B (2021) to $10.89B (2025).
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its sector.
