Sealed Air ( (SEE) ) has issued an announcement.
On February 25, 2026, Sealed Air stockholders approved the company’s acquisition by affiliates of private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice under a merger agreement signed on November 16, 2025. In support of the buyer’s efforts to secure debt financing to complete the transaction and pay related fees, Sealed Air released pro forma non‑GAAP financial data to prospective lenders, including Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA of $1,329.1 million for 2025, $1,127.4 million for 2024 and $1,171.6 million for 2023.
The disclosure details a multi-step reconciliation from net earnings to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting restructuring charges, acquisition-related items, foreign exchange impacts and anticipated cost savings from going private and management initiatives. By emphasizing liquidity, debt‑service capacity and expected post‑transaction efficiencies, the company aims to position itself as a creditworthy borrower in the leveraged financing market while cautioning that these non‑GAAP measures differ from GAAP results and should not be used alone for investment decisions.
The most recent analyst rating on (SEE) stock is a Hold with a $44.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sealed Air stock, see the SEE Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on SEE Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SEE is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by balance-sheet leverage and weaker recent cash-flow trends, despite improved TTM profitability. Offsetting factors include neutral-to-positive technicals, reasonable valuation, slightly constructive guidance with productivity support, and a positive take-private approval event.
