Sealed Air ( (SEE) ) has shared an announcement.

On February 25, 2026, stockholders of Sealed Air Corporation approved the acquisition of the company by affiliates of private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, pursuant to a merger agreement signed on November 16, 2025. In connection with closing this transaction, the company has disclosed an expected unregistered, multi-tranche debt financing package, including large U.S. dollar and euro senior secured term loans, various secured and unsecured notes and a sizable revolving credit facility, to fund the buyout and related costs.

The planned capital structure is expected to refinance a significant portion of Sealed Air’s existing debt, as the company anticipates redeeming several series of outstanding senior notes maturing between 2027 and 2032, while leaving a portion of its 6.875% senior notes due 2033 outstanding and secured. These financing moves, which remain subject to market conditions, will materially reshape Sealed Air’s balance sheet under new private ownership and have implications for creditors as certain instruments are redeemed and others migrate into a more highly leveraged post-transaction structure.

The most recent analyst rating on (SEE) stock is a Hold with a $44.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sealed Air stock, see the SEE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SEE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SEE is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by balance-sheet leverage and weaker recent cash-flow trends, despite improved TTM profitability. Offsetting factors include neutral-to-positive technicals, reasonable valuation, slightly constructive guidance with productivity support, and a positive take-private approval event.
