Sonoco Products Company remains a soft ‘buy' due to its attractive valuation and ongoing cost-cutting initiatives, despite recent underperformance and financial volatility. SON's recent results show declining revenue and mixed profitability, but management expects adjusted net income to rise and is targeting $150–$200 million in cost savings over three years. Recent portfolio actions include the $3.8 billion Eviosys acquisition and divestitures totaling $2.5 billion, aiming to streamline operations and focus on higher-confidence segments.
When rate-cut timing is murky and equity volatility spikes, retirees need cash-generative anchors.
Sonoco Products is rated a Buy, offering a 4.3% yield and trading at a 20% discount to fair value. SON's 43-year dividend growth streak and strong customer retention underpin reliable, inflation-beating income. Despite near-term margin pressure and cautious guidance, I expect 7% EPS growth and 4.5% dividend CAGR over five years.
Shares of Sonoco Products NYSE: SON are under pressure after the company delivered its Q1 2026 earnings. The company missed on the top and bottom lines with the business under pressure, largely due to inflationary duress from rising energy prices.
