What the Analysts think about Sonoco

Analyst projections of the future price of Sonoco stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Industrial Paper Packaging has solid demand momentum: North American recycled-paperboard trade sales rose 10% year on year and mill use remained high at 94%, helping lift segment sales 5.2%. (Sonoco Products Company)
International paper-can sales grew at a double-digit rate, supported by snack demand in emerging markets. That growth offers a counterweight to weaker food-can volumes in Sonoco’s consumer business. (Sonoco Products Company)
Sonoco is making progress on cost savings: its programme delivered $16 million in the third quarter, and two planned European site closures are expected to save $15 million to $20 million in 2027. If delivered, these savings could help rebuild margins. (The Motley Fool)
Sonoco booked an $829 million non-cash goodwill impairment, largely against Consumer EMEA/APAC operations, signalling a weaker valuation of those businesses. The charge contributed to a reported third-quarter net loss of $732 million. (Sonoco Products Company)
Management cut its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $5.30–$5.50 from $5.80–$6.20, while adjusted third-quarter EPS fell 13% year on year to $1.67. The lower forecast points to weaker near-term earnings than previously expected. (Sonoco Products Company, Sonoco Products Company)
Inflation in raw materials, freight and energy outweighed productivity savings, while lower volume and mix also pressured results. Consumer adjusted EBITDA fell 8.8% and Industrial adjusted EBITDA fell 4.6% year on year in the quarter. (Sonoco Products Company)
