Sonoco Products (SON) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Sonoco Products (SON) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sonoco Products is expected to see improving demand indicators, increased cost savings from margin improvement initiatives, and a focus on debt paydown and investing back into the business, leading to potential upside and higher valuations. The company has a strong footprint and established relationships with global CPGs, and is targeting a $1.5bn EBITDA by 2028 with modest volume growth and potential margin improvements through structural transformation, commercial excellence, and operational improvements. Risks include lower prices, increasing input costs, and competition, but overall, the company is well-positioned for long-term success.
Bears say
Sonoco Products is facing lower earnings estimates due to company guidance, with expected decreases in EPS for 2026-2028. Despite being a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions, their focus on less-cyclical end markets may limit growth and potential for a multiple re-rate. The opportunity to add Rigid Paper Container (RPC) capacity could lead to market share gains and potential cost leverage, but overall, their portfolio rationalization may not result in significant improvement in leverage and ROI. The company should continue to carefully allocate capital and explore new opportunities, such as self-manufacturing in EMEA, to address customer needs and navigate changes in the industry.
