Silgan Holdings (SLGN) Downgraded by RBC, Price Target Cut to $43
- Rating Downgrade Impact: RBC Capital Markets downgraded Silgan Holdings (SLGN) from Outperform to Sector Perform, lowering the price target from $49 to $43, which caused the stock to drop 2.5% in the first hour of trading in New York.
- Growth Outlook Constrained: The analyst noted that Silgan faces structural challenges in its dispensing and specialty closures segment, particularly with demand softening among lower-income consumers pressured by inflation, leading to a constrained medium-term growth outlook.
- Increased Customer Volatility: RBC highlighted rising customer churn, including the impact of a large metal customer bankruptcy over the past two years, which could continue to weigh on volumes despite management's efforts to reroute lost business.
- Earnings Forecast Reduction: RBC lowered its EBITDA forecast for Silgan to $207 million for Q4 and $970 million for fiscal 2025, reflecting a reduced valuation multiple and falling below consensus estimates.
