Sonoco Products Company declared a $0.54 per share quarterly dividend, payable Dec. 10, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Nov. 10, 2026.
The payout marks the 407th consecutive quarter of dividends since 1925. More tellingly: the company has raised its annual dividend for 43 straight years—a track record that puts it in rare air among mid-cap value stocks.
At a 4.3 percent yield based on Sonoco's Oct. 19 closing price, the stock offers more than double the S&P 500's dividend yield. For equity portfolios hunting steady income in a competitive rate environment, that spread matters.
Sonoco (founded 1899) operates 265 facilities in 37 countries and generated $7.5 billion in net sales from continuing operations in 2025. The company employs roughly 22,000 workers globally and specializes in metal and paper packaging for consumer and industrial applications.
