Rhea AI SON FY2025

Sonoco’s dominant mechanic is sharp margin recovery paired with deleveraging, while accounting earnings convert less efficiently into cash.

In FY2025, operating cash flow declined while net income climbed sharply, so the profit surge was not mirrored by cash generation. Free-cash-flow margin fell to 4.6% from 8.3%, indicating the earnings surge did not translate proportionally into cash after reinvestment.

Revenue expanded 41.7% in FY2025 while operating margin rose to 13.5%, showing the business converted a larger share of sales into operating profit. The margin was materially above FY2024, pointing to a change in cost absorption or business mix rather than simple sales expansion.

Debt-to-equity fell from 2.2x to 1.0x as liabilities declined in FY2025, showing a meaningful deleveraging cycle. The current ratio recovered from 0.8x to 1.0x, so short-term pressure eased from below-parity liquidity while cash conversion weakened, separating financing improvement from earnings quality.

Profitability
50

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 50/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 6.2% the prior year.

Growth
79

Sonoco Prod'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
29

Sonoco Prod 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 29/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
21

Sonoco Prod'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
53

Sonoco Prod 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
64

Sonoco Prod'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
1.79

Sonoco Prod scores 1.79, 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 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
4.36x

Sonoco Prod 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.
