Sealed Air Gets Mixed Reactions From Analysts Post Q2 Results

RBC Capital analyst Arun Viswanathan upgraded Sealed Air Corp SEE to Outperform from Sector Perform and raised the price target to $70 (an upside of 23%) from $66.
The analyst believes the stock is attractive at current levels and offers ~25% potential upside given modest FY23 assumptions.
Viswanathan notes that Q2 volume weakness was mainly on tough comps, and industrial is now a small portion of the company; hence expects some lsd% volume growth in FY23.
The analyst mentions that the Conversation with CFO highlights business transformation, confidence in the strategy, and continued growth in 2023.

Mizuho Securities analyst Christopher Parkinson lowered the price target for Sealed Air to $68 (an upside of 20%) from $72 while maintaining the Neutral rating on the shares.
The analyst says that there were certainly a few "yellow flags" within SEE's 2Q print; it's his view the -9% hit is slightly overdone, particularly in the context of strong price momentum.
Parkinson believes volume concerns are unlikely to abate during the 2H, especially in Protective.
Price Action: SEE shares are trading higher by 0.91% at $56.68 on the last check Wednesday.
