Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) is one of the deep value stocks to buy according to analysts. On August 6, Wells Fargo’s Gabrial Hajde reaffirmed a Buy rating on Sealed Air (SEE) and kept the price target at $43. The call followed a stronger-than-expected second-quarter performance, where adjusted EBITDA came in at $293 million, ahead of both company guidance and street forecasts.

While total volumes were down slightly, the beat reflects progress from Sealed Air’s cost controls and operational efficiency measures. Hajde also noted that management’s 2025 outlook, which remains unchanged, now looks conservative in light of the recent performance. This leaves room for potential upside if execution stays on track.

Another supportive factor is the company’s leadership stability. The appointment of Kristen Actis-Grande as permanent CFO adds experience to the finance team at a time when Sealed Air is focused on driving productivity gains and advancing strategic priorities. Together, these factors support Hajde’s constructive stance on the stock and his decision to maintain the Buy rating.

Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) designs, manufactures, and delivers packaging solutions that preserve food, protect goods, and automate packaging processes.
