IFF insiders buy $20M amid $4.3B sale

Watch: Monitor the deal's mid-2027 closing and any updates on cooperation with CVC for outlook clarity.

Insiders including FRIBOURG PAUL J and FYRWALD J. ERIK purchased shares totaling over $20 million at prices between $63.64 and $80.24. IFF agreed to sell its food-ingredients division in a $4.3 billion deal to CVC Capital Partners, retaining a 10% stake. The division generated $3.28 billion in sales in 2025 but faced a year-over-year sales decline and write-downs. Analyst targets average $91.43 while shares trade near $74.

Heavy insider buying amid a major asset sale signals confidence in IFF's post-divestment strategy and potential for value retention or growth despite recent sales weakness.
