Ross Sparenblek has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Sealed Air’s current market position and future outlook. The company has shown resilience with better-than-expected third-quarter results, driven by strong international demand and lower SG&A costs, which led to an increase in full-year adjusted EPS guidance. However, macroeconomic challenges such as tariffs, softer industrial production, and a weakening consumer base have contributed to a slight decline in organic constant currency revenue.
Despite these challenges, Sealed Air has managed to expand its EBITDA margin through cost and productivity initiatives. While there are positive developments in Europe and the industrial segment, broader demand remains uncertain, and the company’s growth prospects are muted by difficult comparisons in the food segment. The stock is trading below its historical average, and without clear signs of market recovery or significant share gains, Sparenblek remains cautious about forecasting substantial volume growth in the near term.
In another report released yesterday, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $36.00 price target.
