BUYAPPROVEInternational Flavors & Fragrances Inc. · Basic Materials · United States · $19.4B · Avg Vol: $149M/d
International Flavors & Fragrances clears the calibrated bar. All three legs are above the floor (Q56 V54 M68) and there are two corroborating filings: insider buying of 0.11% of shares outstanding and an active buyback. Nothing adverse is on file: no negative earnings revision and no net selling. Momentum at M68 is the strongest part of the case.
