Jim Cramer on International Flavors & Fragrances: "We Think That the Turnabout Is Real"

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar. Answering a caller’s query about the stock, Cramer said:

We were going to do a piece on IFF because we think that the turnabout is real. And then, let me tell you, sir, we decided to hold off because it went so high. It’s up 22% for the year. But you’re right. IFF is back after being in the wilderness for almost a decade. IFF is back.

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) creates ingredients for the food, beverage, and personal care industries. The company has three main segments, including health and biosciences, scent, and food ingredients. A caller asked about the stock during the October 8, 2025, episode, and Cramer responded:

Okay, the problem there is that it’s just flatlining. The sales have flatlined. There’s really nothing that I can say that’s good about it. It has no growth, and that’s disappointing. It used to be a better company.
