Rhea AI SON FY2025 2026-10-24

The business rebounded sharply in FY2025, but cash generation lagged accounting earnings while leverage remained material.

Net income reached $1.0B while operating cash flow was $690M, so FY2025's earnings surge did not translate proportionally into cash. Free cash flow also fell to $346M from $441M in FY2024, reinforcing that cash conversion weakened even as reported profitability improved.

Balance-sheet repair was substantial: total liabilities fell 26.3% while total equity rose 59.1% in FY2025, reducing the financing burden after FY2024's expansion. Yet debt-to-equity was 1.0x and current ratio 1.0x, so the company remained funded with meaningful debt and only modest short-term coverage.

Operating margin expanded from 6.2% to 13.5% while gross margin declined; profit improvement occurred below gross profit, pointing to operating-cost or mix effects rather than broad production-cost gains.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 49/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group, and the overall is the average of the dimensions that can be computed. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Sonoco Products Company's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Sonoco Products Company 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 48/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 6.2% the prior year.

Growth

Sonoco Products Company's revenue surged 41.7% year-over-year to $7.5B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 79/100.

Leverage

Sonoco Products Company has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.05), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 28/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Sonoco Products Company's current ratio of 1.05 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 21/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Sonoco Products Company has a free cash flow margin of 4.6%, earning a moderate score of 53/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Sonoco Products Company's ROE of 27.8% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 64/100. This is up from 7.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.80

Sonoco Products Company scores 1.80, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

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

Earnings Quality Mixed

0.69x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sonoco Products Company 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

4.36x

Sonoco Products Company earns $4.36 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.
