SEALED AIR CORP/DE represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns SEALED AIR CORP/DE a Hold rating, with a composite score of 62.4/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #469 of 7,333 stocks, SEE presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 61/100, SEE shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 46.5% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 30.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 10.4% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
SEE carries a solid value score of 80/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 11.16x, an EV/EBITDA of 8.21x, a P/B ratio of 5.19x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 48/100, SEE exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 0.5% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 7.8% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
SEE demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 60/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 0.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.02 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
SEE shows good financial stability with a score of 80/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.02 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 495.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
SEALED AIR CORP/DE's short interest score of 38/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 495.00x). At $5.2B (mid-cap), SEE carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
SEE pays a solid dividend yield of 2.3%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
SEALED AIR CORP/DE is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #469 of 7,333 overall (94th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 46.5% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 14.2% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While SEE currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
