What are Wall Street analysts saying about Sealed Air stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sealed Air stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sealed Air recently announced a reformation plan — Reinvent SEE Strategy — along with a fresh restructuring program, in a move to drive the company’s growth and earnings. The new strategy is focused on innovations, SG&A productivity, product-cost efficiency, channel optimization and customer-service enhancements. Sealed Air has also announced a three-year restructuring program to drive total annualized savings by the end of 2021, in the range of $215-$235 million. Expected benefits from reducing costs along with global business trends positions the company well for improved results. The company has a positive record of earnings surprise in the last few quarters. " (1/7/2019)
- 2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We are slightly increasing our 2018 adjusted EBITDA estimate from $895 million to $900 million (at the midpoint of guidance of $890 million to $910 million) and our 2019 EBITDA estimate from $915 million to $920 million (consensus is $951 million); we are moving to the midpoint of guidance for 2018 following the Company’s slight beat in 2Q. For 2019, we assume a minimal EBITDA contribution from just-acquired AFP (~$5 million), such that the majority of our assumed $20 million of EBITDA growth is organic. We realize our assumed rate of organic EBITDA growth for 2019 is lower than that in 2018, but we also note that SEE’s EBITDA was essentially flat in the previous two years. At the midpoint of its 2018 EBITDA guidance, SEE is trading at 11.2x EV/EBITDA, roughly in line with the five-year average. We think the valuation is fair." (8/2/2018)
