Is SON overbought or oversold?
At the August 5, 2026 close, SON's RSI(14) was 64.2, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, SON has $168.6M in cash with $4.77B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $527.1M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 18.9% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 4.0% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $5.86B to $7.52B.
The relatively low beta of 0.35 suggests SON is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Sonoco Products Company carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Sonoco Products Company's trajectory.
