International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) stock plunged 6.12% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, despite reporting better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. The company, which produces ingredients for food, cosmetics, and consumer products industries, reported adjusted earnings of $0.97 per share, surpassing analysts' estimates of $0.78 per share.
The after-hours sell-off appears to be driven by concerns over the company's 2025 revenue outlook. IFF expects full-year revenue to be in the range of $10.6 billion to $10.9 billion, which falls short of analysts' consensus estimate of $11.17 billion. This guidance may have disappointed investors and led to the stock's decline.
Additionally, the broader market sentiment and macroeconomic factors, such as rising interest rates and concerns about economic growth, could have contributed to the stock's downward pressure. Despite the earnings beat, investors may be cautious about the company's prospects in the face of these challenges.
