IFF shares rise 5.84% after-hours on positive Q4 earnings surprise and raised price target to $80.

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. surged 5.84% in after-hours trading, driven by updated analyst forecasts and a revised "Outperform" rating. The stock's post-market rally aligns with a Wall Street consensus projecting a $83.33 average price target (14% upside from its $73.07 closing price). Analysts cited a 2.1 rating ("Outperform") from 21 brokerage firms and GuruFocus' $73.97 fair value estimate, signaling improved confidence in IFF's valuation despite challenges like declining sales. The move follows mixed mid-day trading earlier in the day, where IFF hit an intraday high of $73.88, reflecting renewed optimism about its turnaround potential ahead of Q4 earnings.
