Sonoco reported a third-quarter 2026 GAAP net loss of $732 million, or $7.36 per diluted share, driven by an $829 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Net sales fell 4.2% to $2.0 billion and adjusted EPS fell 13.0% to $1.67, and the company revised its full-year 2026 guidance. The impairment and weaker results weigh on shareholders, while the company cited strong operating cash flow and a refinancing.
