The concentrated selling suggests a negative catalyst or sector headwind. Monitor SON for Q3 earnings weakness or guidance cuts, given 13F lag. The sole active buyer (Point72) may provide contrarian support, but the selling consensus dominates.

A bearish institutional cluster emerged in SON for Q3 2025, with 5 funds (including Norges Bank, RenTech, and Morgan Stanley) reducing or exiting positions totaling net ~$81M. Only Point72 significantly increased its stake, doubling to $3.1M. The selling is broad-based across quant, sovereign, and passive managers, signaling caution on the packaging sector.
