Sensient Technologies Corporation's stock experienced a sharp pre-market decline of 7.48% following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results.

The flavors and colors provider reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $0.72, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.79. Revenue for the quarter reached $393.45 million, which also fell short of the $397.47 million expected by analysts. On a reported basis, earnings per share decreased 15.5% to $0.60 compared to the same period last year, while operating income declined 9.1%.

The company cited several factors for the weaker performance, including a $3 million charge in its Flavors & Extracts segment due to severe weather disruptions. Furthermore, selling and administrative expenses rose 10% year-over-year. Looking ahead, Sensient's 2026 earnings guidance of $3.60 to $3.80 per share came in below the FactSet consensus estimate of $3.94, contributing to negative investor sentiment in the pre-market session.
