International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. dividend currently yields 1.91%, paid by a company that supplies flavor compounds, fragrance ingredients, probiotics, and pharmaceutical excipients to manufacturers across more than six global regions. IFF pays $1.60 per share annually in quarterly installments, with the next ex-dividend date on June 18, 2026. At a beta of 0.944, the stock moves slightly less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower volatility over a high headline yield.
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. pays out 48.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings, supported by IFF's broad customer base spanning food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements, all categories with recurring demand built into the business model. The most data-supported pressure point on International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. dividend safety is the history table itself, which contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, showing the dividend is not immune to cuts under stress.
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.9% per year from 2012 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.04 to $1.60 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The largest single-year jump was 19.8% in 2015, but growth has slowed sharply since then, with recent annual increases barely moving the needle.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -20.6% | $3.20 (2022) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -12.0% | $3.04 (2020) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -2.5% | $2.06 (2015) | $1.60 (2025) |
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. stock fits dividend investors who want a moderate-payout, low-volatility holding tied to everyday consumer and pharmaceutical supply chains. The yield is low (below 2%), and at 1.91% it sits well below the 5-year average of 3.04%, meaning buyers today are accepting less income than the stock has historically delivered. Growth has averaged 2.9% annually, which barely keeps pace with inflation at recent rates. The 48.0% payout ratio keeps the dividend covered, but the combination of a below-average yield and slow growth means income investors accept limited near-term income in exchange for a covered, lower-risk payout.
