Sensient says more prudent to increase capex, defer buyback to later date

Says: “While we had previously indicated that excess cash would be used in 2025 to buy back stock, we now feel as a result of the accelerated natural color conversion activity and regulatory timelines… it is more prudent to increase capex for the year and defer any buyback program to a later date.” Raises CAPEX view to $80M-$90M from $70M-$80M.
