Financial Profile 60/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability
52

Sonoco Prod has an operating margin of 13.5%, meaning the company retains $14 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 52/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 6.2% the prior year.

Growth
100

Sonoco Prod's revenue surged 41.7% year-over-year to $7.5B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 100/100.

Leverage
81

Sonoco Prod carries a low D/E ratio of 1.05, meaning only $1.05 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 81/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
16

Sonoco Prod's current ratio of 1.05 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 16/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow
37

Sonoco Prod has a free cash flow margin of 4.6%, earning a moderate score of 37/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns
73

Sonoco Prod earns a strong 27.8% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $28 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 73/100. This is up from 7.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone
1.84

Sonoco Prod scores 1.84, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
6/9

Sonoco Prod passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed
0.69x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sonoco Prod generates $0.69 in operating cash flow ($689.8M OCF vs $1.0B net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage Adequate
4.4x

Sonoco Prod earns $4.4 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.0B vs $233.5M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
