The case for and against

Updated Aug 13, 2026

Bull case

Sonoco Products is demonstrating strong financial performance through its focused strategy to increase exposure to less-cyclical consumer-oriented end-markets. The company's portfolio and mix enhancement efforts could result in a potential multiple re-rate, and it should continue to benefit from its standing as the largest North American URB producer. The company's disciplined capital allocation and potential for faster decline in leverage also add to its positive outlook.

Bear case

Sonoco Products is on an upward trajectory with its recent portfolio transformation and is poised for positive earnings thanks to productivity and cost savings. Despite challenges like customer inventory management and potential weather-related downtime, the company has continued to gain share in key markets like food cans and aerosol, leading to upside potential in the future. Its strong performance in January, particularly in the Americas, bodes well for meeting or exceeding 2026 guidance.
