What were Givaudan's second-quarter organic sales growth rate and how did it compare to market expectations?

Givaudan's second-quarter organic sales grew by 4.3%, which was ahead of the company-compiled consensus estimate of 3.7%. This marked the first acceleration in its organic sales growth since late 2024, when growth had peaked amid customer restocking of ingredients after depleting pandemic-era stockpiles.

How did Givaudan's fragrance and flavours divisions perform individually in the second quarter, and what factors influenced their results?

The fragrance division posted organic growth of 7.1%, exceeding the 5.8% consensus, driven by strong demand for consumer-goods scents that offset a slowdown in fine fragrances. The flavours division grew 1.5%, roughly in line with expectations, supported by a rebound in South Asia, Middle East and Africa, though this was tempered by continued weakness in Latin America.
