Sonoco Products Co. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $39.38

Sonoco Products Co., a small-cap player in the packaging industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 39.38 as of October 13, 2025. This marks a significant decline, with the stock's performance over the past year showing a decrease of 33.25%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 13.36% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 4,554 million, and it currently has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16.00. However, Sonoco's financial metrics indicate some challenges, including a return on equity of 7.29% and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.58. The stock has not offered a dividend yield, reflecting its focus on reinvestment or other financial strategies.

In recent financial results, Sonoco reported an operating cash flow of USD 543.71 million, the lowest in recent years, and a net profit that has declined by 30.34%. The company's return on capital employed (ROCE) has also dipped to 3.98%, highlighting ongoing performance pressures. Overall, Sonoco Products Co. continues to face headwinds in a competitive market environment.
