EVP/General Counsel Landsman buys 3,100 IFF shares at $63.48; stock down 29.0% from 52-week high, his prior buys show 0% 90-day win rate.

Landsman purchased 3,100 shares at $63.48, increasing his holdings by 25.8% from 12,000 to 15,100 shares, at a time when IFF trades at $63.26—near the transaction price and 29.0% below its 52-week high of $89.13. His historical buy pattern at IFF shows poor timing: both prior purchases on 2025-05-19 produced negative 90-day returns (-14.8% and -15.2%), and his cross-ticker track record across 2 prior buys shows 0% win rate at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of -15.0%. Notably, annual revenue growth is flat at +0.0% while the company carries a P/E of 66.59, suggesting elevated valuation relative to recent earnings power. This purchase extends a pattern of acquiring shares during periods when they subsequently declined, without evidence of subsequent recovery within the measurement window.

EVP/General Counsel Landsman buys 12,000 shares at $77.28 avg; 3 other insiders bought in past 14 days amid -27.1% decline from 52-week high

Stephen N Landsman, EVP and General Counsel, made 2 separate purchases totaling 12,000 shares for $927,355.60 on May 19, 2025, at a blended average price of $77.28. This acquisition comes when IFF's stock is trading at $77.34, having fallen -27.1% from its 52-week high of $106.07, though it has recovered +6.7% over the past 30 days. Most notably, this filing is part of a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated capital deployment by multiple executives. The company currently faces material headwinds—reporting a -$1.0B net loss in the latest quarter despite $2.8B in quarterly revenue, with an elevated P/E of 81.41—making this multi-executive buying activity noteworthy as a potential shift in insider positioning during a period of operational stress.
