Sonoco Products(SON) shares fell 3.90% intraday, marking the fifth consecutive day of decline, with a total drop of 15.29% over the past five days. The stock price hit its lowest level since March 2020 today.

Sonoco Products has recently faced several challenges that have impacted its stock performance. The company announced price increases for core board and paperboard in Europe due to supply and cost pressures. This move, reported 11 days ago, reflects the broader economic challenges and rising costs that the company is grappling with.

Additionally, Sonoco Products reported a significant loss of $43 million in its fourth-quarter earnings. This financial setback has raised concerns among investors about the company's profitability and future prospects. The loss is a stark contrast to previous quarters and highlights the difficulties Sonoco is facing in maintaining its financial health.

These developments have collectively contributed to the recent decline in Sonoco Products' stock price. The combination of increased costs, price adjustments, and financial losses has created a challenging environment for the company, leading to investor caution and a downward trend in its stock performance.
