What the Analysts think about SXT
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Sensient Technologies stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Supportive regulation is generating a significant conversion opportunity; U.S. bans on synthetic colors and a $110 million synthetic color base with a 10:1 revenue conversion factor for natural colors could unlock over $1 billion in additional revenue (Food Business News)(Reuters)
The Color segment outperformed with Q2 revenue up 6.9% and adjusted EBITDA margins increasing from 22.2% to 25.1%, driven by new sales wins and greater operating leverage (Business Wire)
The Asia Pacific segment delivered 10.8% local-currency revenue growth and 13.5% operating income growth in Q2, demonstrating Sensient’s strong geographic diversification and robust demand throughout the APAC region (Business Wire)
Flavors & Extracts segment revenue fell 3.2% in Q2 2025 due to weaker volumes in natural ingredients, highlighting ongoing challenges in Sensient’s largest unit and negatively impacting overall growth (Business Wire)
Limited availability of raw materials for natural colors could slow the switch from synthetic to natural, since current supplies are unable to support sudden demand surges. A full industry transition may take several years (Associated Press)
Natural color substitutes cost about 10 times more than synthetic dyes, which could put pressure on margins and slow uptake among customers who are sensitive to costs (AP News)
