Sonoco stock lags despite strong balance sheet
Malcolm Berko questions Sonoco's stock appeal despite improving net profit margins from 5.6 percent in 1994 to 70 percent this year and forecasts potential revenue of over 3.7 billion, earnings of about 3.15 per share, and a 1.15 dividend as growth continues. He notes the 2-1 stock split in 1993, modest 4 percent yield at 80 cents, and lack of compelling upside, recommending smaller positions and broader search for exciting long-term growth.
