SON Stock Recent News

Sonoco's shares look cheap based on earnings multiples, but high leverage and recent M&A activity keep me cautious despite a strong dividend record. The Eviosys acquisition and TFP divestment have reshaped the business, but pro forma net debt remains elevated at about $5.4 billion. Despite a 4.6% dividend yield and 7-8x earnings multiple, I want to see a focus on deleveraging and cash flow over further M&A or dividend hikes.

However, operational improvements, portfolio rationalization, and the Eviosys acquisition are likely to margin expansion and robust earnings growth, going forward. Sonoco trades at a steep discount on a forward P/E basis, and while the current FCF yield may not be eye-popping and below average, this is only because of seasonaleffects.
