International Flavors & Fragrances has been added to the financial market coverage of investment broker Stifel Nicolaus, which has started the ingredients company off with a 'buy' rating.

Stifel recommended that investors buy the shares at a price target of $49. The share prices are currently trading at approximately $43.30.

For the full year 2009, sales were stagnant in local currency terms to $2.3bn and down by 3 percent on a reported basis, while profits fell by 15 percent to $195.5m.

Breaking the figures down, the fragrance and beauty side of the business showed a marked under performance compared to other areas.
