Despite in-line EPS, the lowered full-year guidance and declining adjusted EBITDA signal deteriorating fundamentals. Traders should monitor upcoming quarters for margin resilience and demand recovery in industrial markets.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Sonoco reported Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.20, matching consensus, but guided to the low end of its full-year EPS range ($5.80–$6.20) due to inflationary pressures and weak demand. Revenue declined 1.9% YoY to $1.68B, driven by the ThermoSafe divestiture, though pricing and FX provided partial offset.
