IFF Guide Food Ingredients/CVC $3.8B proceeds use (buybacks + ~2.5x leverage) UNKNOWN guide ~$3.8B net proceeds, ~2.5x net leverage vs. cons ~2.5x (post-close by Q2 2027) LOW
IFF Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +1.5% MEDIUM
IFF Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (STABILIZE) Q2 is a pre-telegraphed trough, so a modest EPS beat plus reaffirmed FY guide clears a low bar and lifts the stock ~1-2% day 1. But with shares already up ~18% YTD and near highs, and the print embedding an implicit soft Q2 (in-line EBITDA, not a raise), out-period estimates barely move — no upward revision fuel. The CVC deal and H2/Health-turnaround narrative are already priced, so the initial pop holds rather than compounds; risk of a small fade if Middle East/Fine Fragrance commentary sounds cautious. Net: stabilize near the day-1 level. LOW
