Valuing Sonoco Products Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sonoco Products Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sonoco Products Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, Sonoco Products Company shares trade at around 18x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Sonoco Products Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2231. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Sonoco Products Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Sonoco Products Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Sonoco Products Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 42.16% of net profits
Recently Sonoco Products Company has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sonoco Products Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sonoco Products Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.06 per share.
While Sonoco Products Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sonoco Products Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sonoco Products Company's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sonoco Products Company's shares were split on a 11:10 basis on 12 May 1998 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 11 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sonoco Products Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sonoco Products Company shares which in turn could have impacted Sonoco Products Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sonoco Products Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $47.2232 up to $60.4539. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Sonoco Products Company's is 0.677. This would suggest that Sonoco Products Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
