Sealed Air (SEE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sealed Air is positioned for growth, driven by a robust U.S. cattle herd cycle that supports an expected 2–3% growth rate in the food packaging segment, alongside a historical growth range of 3–4% for its protective packaging products. The company's strategic focus on automation and restructuring has led to improved operating leverage and higher incremental margins, contributing to their anticipated EBITDA increase to $1.12-1.14 billion for 2025. Additionally, strong market share gains in Europe, EMEA, and LatAm, combined with positive trends in the industrial and electronics sectors, bolster the company's outlook despite short-term volume challenges.
Bears say
Sealed Air is currently facing a negative outlook due to continued volume declines in its Food segment, attributed to a persistent softness in consumer demand and a significant downturn in beef consumption, which is projected to decline further by 5% in 2025. Additionally, the Protective segment has struggled since mid-2022, and while a potential recovery is anticipated by late 2024, the company has factored in a 2.5% volume contraction for the fourth quarter primarily related to North American food and industrial processing. The long-term trend of decreasing beef consumption in the U.S., which has fallen from approximately 80 lbs per capita in the 1980s to near 50 lbs today, poses further challenges alongside rising input costs, heightened competition, and ongoing restructuring initiatives.
