Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sealed Air Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "For 2017, Sealed Air expects sales of $4.3 billion reflecting an expected 3% constant dollar sales growth in Food Care and 3–4% constant dollar sales growth in Product Care. In 2017, volume growth will be partially offset by higher raw material costs, a higher mix of eCommerce and fulfillment sales, along with the impact of functional support and related expenses, EPS is likely to be around $1.70 per share for 2017 due to the dilutive impact of the Diversey sale. Further, the company’s shares have underperformed the Zacks categorized sub industry year to date. However, Sealed Air’s top-line will be supported by enhanced demand for its core product portfolio, recently-introduced innovations, and accelerated growth in the global protein market along with the eCommerce sector. It will also benefit from the divestiture of its Diversey business. Its estimates have gone up in the past few days." (7/19/2017)
• 2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We are reducing our 1Q17 adj. EBITDA estimate from $249 million to $245 million (up 1% YOY) and our 2017 estimate from $1.175 billion to $1.173 billion (guidance is ~$1.18 billion). Industrial market weakness plagued SEE throughout 2016, and the global market doesn’t appear to be improving so far in 2017, at least according to SEE. In addition, SEE is dealing with FX translation drags, the short-term impact of the pending expiration of its agreement with SC Johnson, and higher resin prices. Consequently, the Company commented yesterday that its adj. EBITDA could be flat in 1Q17, and we are reducing our estimate accordingly." (2/24/2017)
