SON Stock Recent News

HARTSVILLE, S.C., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco” or the “Company”)(NYSE: SON), a global leader in high-value sustainable packaging, will announce second quarter 2025 results on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, after the market closes.

HARTSVILLE, S.C., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoco Products Company (NYSE: SON), a global leader in value-added sustainable metal and paper packaging, today announced European can-making industry leader Tomás López died in his hometown of Murcia, Spain.

Sonoco Products offers a nearly 5% yield, a 42-year dividend growth streak, and trades at a deep discount to historical valuation. Recent transformation and the Eviosys acquisition position SON for significant revenue and earnings growth, with consensus 2025 EPS estimates much higher than 2024. Valuation models suggest a potential 20%+ compound annual return, driven by earnings growth, multiple expansion, and a well-covered dividend.

Sonoco's transformation to focus on larger, core businesses is nearly complete, highlighted by the Eviosys acquisition and asset divestitures. Despite a 42-year dividend increase streak and a 4.9% yield, concerns linger over FY25 operating cash flow and debt from recent deals. Insider buying and analyst buy ratings do suggest some confidence in the longer-term prospects of Sonoco Products.

HARTSVILLE, S.C., June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoco Products Company (NYSE: SON), a global leader in value-added sustainable packaging, today announced that Paul Joachimczyk has been named Chief Financial Officer, effective June 30, 2025.

Despite bubble fears, 91% of market gains since 2009 are justified by fundamentals like earnings, dividends, and strong balance sheets. Stocks appear overvalued at face value, but strong long-term earnings growth potential could justify current prices. These five dividend aristocrats, currently trading at a 42% historical discount, offer exceptional return potential and a significant margin of safety.

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.

Sonoco, which makes packaging products for global consumer and industrial companies has underperformed other material stocks and mid-caps this year. 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.

HARTSVILLE, S.C., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoco Products Company (NYSE: SON), a global leader in value-added sustainable packaging, today released its 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, marking its transformation into a more sustainable packaging company following the acquisition of Eviosys, Europe's leading metal packaging manufacturer.
