Wednesday, April 17, 3:26 PM Sonoco Products Company (SON) declares $0.31/share quarterly dividend, 3.3% increase from prior dividend of $0.30. Forward yield 3.60%. For shareholders of record May 17. Payable June 10. Ex-div date May 15. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Wednesday, February 13, 7:33 AM Sonoco Products (SON): Q4 EPS of $0.56 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $1.18B (+4% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Consumer]
Friday, December 7, 2012, 8:43 AM Sonoco Products (SON) reaffirms Q4 EPS guidance of $0.52-$0.56 vs $0.54 analyst consensus estimate, and sees FY 2013 EPS of $2.24-$2.32 vs $2.42 consensus. SON says it has not seen significant changes in business conditions that would cause revisions, but customer order patterns are erratic and overall economic activity is uncertain. Comment! [Energy]
Thursday, October 18, 2012, 7:39 AM Sonoco Products (SON): Q3 EPS of $0.55 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $1.2B (+6% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]

Monday, October 8, 2012, 12:48 PM Sonoco Products (SON -1%) is downgraded to Neutral from Buy with a reduced price target of $33 from $38 by DA Davidson.

It thinks SON's 3.8% dividend yield remains attractive and secure. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Monday, September 10, 2012, 6:05 PM Sonoco Products (SON) -3.3% AH after lowering Q3 EPS guidance, primarily due to operating problems at some North American uncoated recycled paperboard mills which have led to unscheduled downtime and related excess costs. SON also withdraws full-year guidance, citing lower than expected volumes in many of its consumer and industrial packaging businesses. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 10:24 AM Sonoco Products (SON +1.8%) is upgraded to Neutral from Sell at Goldman with a new $33 price target. The firm expects volume declines in SON’s consumer (composite cans) and industrial (tubes/cores) segments will moderate in H2 given easing Y/Y comparisons, SON’s EPS profile has proven more resilient than forecast, and shares are now fairly valued. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Thursday, July 19, 2012, 7:51 AM Sonoco Products (SON): Q2 EPS of $0.58 in-line. Revenue of $1.28B (+6.7% Y/Y) beats by $60M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
