    By Zain Abbas - May 27, 2013 | Tickers: CCK, RKT, SEE

    Wall Street has recently turned extremely bullish on the paper and packaging industry. This has happened for three primary reasons:

    1.) Recent price hikes in the containerboard segment, which clearly invite improvements in margins. Prices have gone up as a response to high capacity utilization and low inventory levels. 

    2.) There is an increased trend toward returning cash to shareholders in the packaging segment. 

    3.) Emerging market expansion plans among more »

  • Packing Up?

    By Shaleen Lohia - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: LNDC, SEE, DOW

    The last time I went to South Korea I found it very difficult to find a restaurant serving decent vegetarian food (Yes, I am a vegetarian). So I had to fill myself up with whatever was available that suited my palate. I have to go there again, but this time I’m going to carry some packaged food for myself. Some of these could well be packaged by Landec (NASDAQ: LNDCmore »)

  • Can You Make Paper with These Stocks?

    By Chad Henage - October 1, 2012 | Tickers: IP, PKG, SEE

    I know the title of this post is a bit corny, but honestly many investors completely ignore certain segments of the market because the type of industry isn't all that exciting. I can imagine even analysts of paper product stocks probably need a little bit of caffeine to make it through the companies presentations. However, what is not boring is finding a good value stock that pays a good dividend and has earnings growth. I recently ran a screen on The Motley Fool CAPS Screener looking for companies in the “consumer non-durable" segment. My thought process was, as the economy slowly recovers any company related to packaging and paper should see improved results. There were only a few companies that met my requirements, they were International Paper (NYSE: IP), Packaging Corp. of America (NYSE: PKG), and Sealed Air Corp. (NYSE: SEE).
