SILGAN HOLDINGS INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns SILGAN HOLDINGS INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.3/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1638 of 7,333 stocks, SLGN 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 52/100, SLGN shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 16.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 17.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 5.4% (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.
SLGN's value score of 68/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 13.82x, an EV/EBITDA of 10.65x, a P/B ratio of 2.25x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
SILGAN HOLDINGS INC's investment score of 26/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 45.4% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 3.9% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
SLGN is currently showing below-average momentum at 43/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 45.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.62 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
SLGN shows good financial stability with a score of 78/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.62 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 318.00x (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.
SILGAN HOLDINGS INC's short interest score of 26/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 318.00x). At $4.6B (mid-cap), SLGN carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
SLGN offers a modest dividend yield of 1.8%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
SILGAN HOLDINGS INC is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1638 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 16.3% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 7.1% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While SLGN 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.
