What the filing says
Sonoco reported Q3 2026 GAAP net loss of $732M ($7.36/share) vs. $123M profit ($1.23/share) YoY, driven by non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $829M ($802M Consumer EMEA/APAC, $27M Industrial APAC). Adjusted net income fell 12.5% to $167M ($1.67/share) from $191M ($1.92/share). Company reduced full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.30–$5.50 (from prior ~$5.90 implied), adjusted EBITDA to $1.20–$1.25B, and operating cash flow to $600–$650M. Debt refinanced ($800M term loan; $500M drew to replace 2028 maturity).
Why this rating
Significant impairment signals strategy/integration stress post-Eviosys; guidance cut material (~8%) relative to $4.3B market cap. Not bankruptcy-level, but real earnings/trajectory concern.
