Philip Ng has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Sealed Air’s current market situation. The company is reportedly in advanced discussions to be taken private by Clayton Dubilier & Rice, which has led to a significant increase in the stock’s value. However, despite the potential for a buyout, there remain concerns about the company’s past performance, particularly in its Protective segment, which has experienced secular challenges and leadership changes.
Ng acknowledges that while there are signs of stabilization in recent quarters, the company’s future, especially in 2026, remains uncertain with potential pressures on Food volumes due to external market conditions. The stock’s current trading range is seen as reasonable given its historical multiples, but the potential for other private equity interest or strategic buyers adds complexity to the situation. Therefore, the Hold rating reflects a cautious stance amid these ongoing developments and uncertainties.
In another report released today, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $41.00 price target.
SEE’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $32.220 to $36.380, which is a 12.91% increase.
