Sonoco Finishes Up a Good First Quarter but Remains Overvalued at Recent Prices
Sonoco began the year with pricing gains and solid margins, though organic volume growth proved underwhelming. As 2019 progresses, we think cost inflation will pressure margins, especially as prices fall for medium and linerboard. One offset during the quarter was persistent profitability in the company's relatively small displaying and packaging segment, following years of subpar performance. We haven't materially changed our assumptions for Sonoco, and we maintain our $42 per share fair value ...Sonoco Products is a manufacturer of industrial and consumer packaging products and a provider of packaging services. The company's segments are: Consumer Packaging, which includes round composite cans, shaped rigid paperboard containers, fiber and plastic caulk/adhesive tubes, aluminum, steel and peelable membrane easy-open closures for composite and metal cans; Paper and Industrial Converted Products, which include recycled paperboard, chipboard, tubeboard, lightweight corestock, boxboard, linerboard, corrugating medium, edgeboard, paper grades, and adhesives; Display and Packaging, which include point-of-purchase displays; and Protective Solutions, which include packaging and components.
