Frequently asked questions
Is SXT growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Sensient Technologies Corp's revenue has grown 3.9% per year, and net income grown 4.2% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does SXT have?
As of FY2025, Sensient Technologies Corp reported $709M of total debt against $37M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 7.0×.
What is SXT's profit margin?
In FY2025, gross margin was 33.5%, operating margin 12.8%, and net margin 8.3%.
What is SXT's P/E ratio?
Sensient Technologies Corp's P/E (TTM) is 29.70 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the SXT stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 37.4× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
