What makes up IFF's 2.33% yield
IFF paid $2.00 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $85.69, which is where the 2.33% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.
A yield close to the market median is the least informative figure on this page — it is what most payers look like. What separates IFF from the rest of that group is the schedule it pays on, the record behind the payment and what funds it, covered below.
Materials dividends are funded by commodity earnings and are among the most cyclical on the market. A trailing yield captures what was paid through one part of that cycle, which may not resemble the next.
When IFF pays, and what that changes
IFF pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.
Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. IFF's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is IFF's dividend covered by earnings?
IFF's payout ratio of 1.41 means the dividend exceeds reported earnings — the company is distributing more than it earned. That is sustainable for a period from cash reserves or borrowing, and it is the single most relevant caveat on this page, because the ten-year figures above assume the payment continues at its present level throughout.
The figures hold the dividend flat. No multi-year record of consecutive increases is on file for IFF, so treat the projection as arithmetic on today's payment rather than as an expectation about future ones.
IFF dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in IFF pay in dividends?
- At IFF's current yield of 2.33%, $10,000 pays about $233.40 a year — roughly $58.35 per payment, paid quarterly, or $19.45 a month averaged out.
- What would IFF be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in IFF would grow to about $12,620 after 10 years, against $12,334 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.
- How often does IFF pay dividends?
- IFF pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is IFF's dividend guaranteed?
- No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check IFF's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Can IFF afford its dividend?
- IFF's payout ratio is 1.41, meaning the dividend currently exceeds reported earnings. That gap can be funded from cash or borrowing for a period, but not indefinitely from profits. The projections on this page assume the payment continues unchanged, which is an assumption rather than a finding — check the full payment history and the company's own filings before relying on it.
