Recent News
On February 24, 2026 the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend increase to $0.21 per share, payable March 31, 2026 to holders of record on March 17, 2026. Analysts broadened coverage in early April 2026, with at least one firm initiating or updating research coverage and publishing target-price commentary.
Technical Analysis
ADX at 23.27 indicates an emerging trend strength rather than a fully formed directional move; that emerging strength provides context for a near-term attempt at trend development.
DI+ sits at 23.07 and shows an increasing trajectory, which reads as a bullish directional signal; DI- at 27.06 shows a decreasing trajectory, which also reads as bullish because DI- trending down reduces downside directional pressure.
MACD registers -0.31 while the MACD line recently crossed above its signal line (-0.64), producing a bullish momentum signal despite the negative absolute MACD level; momentum appears to shift toward recovery.
MRO at -30.62 with a dip-and-reversal pattern indicates the market price trades below the internal target and carries measurable upside potential relative to that target.
RSI sits at 47.14 and has peak-and-reversal behavior, which signals short-term bearish pressure and reduces the odds of an immediate breakout without follow-through buying.
Price trades below the 50-day ($43.31) and 200-day ($43.81) averages while sitting near the 20-day average ($40.85); short-term EMAs (12-day $40.99, 26-day $41.19) show a recent peak-and-reversal, reinforcing the near-term resistance band between $41 and $44. Bollinger bands place the upper 1σ at $41.93 and lower 1σ at $39.77, keeping current price within a narrow volatility envelope.
Fundamental Analysis
Silgan reported EBIT of $101,134,000 and EBITDA of $182,087,000 while WMDST’s valuation assigns the stock as under-valued; free cash flow reached $1,222,505,000, yielding 27.70% on the free-cash-flow metric—well above the industry peer mean free cash flow yield of 4.61% and representing a material liquidity advantage.
Operating margin measures 9.18%, with operating margin year‑over‑year up +38.97% but quarter‑over‑quarter down -10.10%; EBIT margin stands at 6.89%, which falls below the industry peer mean of 14.88% and below the industry peer median of 11.27%, signaling margin compression relative to peers despite recent YoY improvement.
Revenue for the period totaled $1,468,605,000 alongside reported revenue growth year‑over‑year of +40.51%; an alternate growth metric registers -26.89%, so readers should note divergent growth signals across reporting measures. Gross margin reached 17.21% with a small YoY increase of +1.59%.
EPS reported $0.67 versus an estimate of $0.64, producing an EPS surprise of +4.69%. The trailing PE stands at 62.48 while forward PE measures 39.93; price/book at 1.94 sits below the industry peer mean of 2.34, and enterprise multiple records 42.18, modestly above the industry peer mean of 36.11.
Leverage metrics show total debt of $4,346,848,000 and net debt of $3,266,189,000. Debt-to-equity runs 191.13% with debt-to-EBITDA at 23.87x and interest coverage near 2.12x, which remains below the industry peer mean interest coverage of 8.27x and highlights sensitivity to interest-cost dynamics despite a low reported cost of debt (~0.76%).
Working capital and liquidity show $1,080,659,000 in cash and short-term investments, a current ratio of 1.22 and a quick ratio of 0.78; cash conversion cycle measures ~64.97 days versus an industry peer mean of ~43.18 days, indicating a longer cash cycle that management must manage to preserve margins and cash generation.
Valuation note: WMDST values the stock as under-valued based on the combination of strong free cash flow yield and internal valuation work; that valuation sits alongside higher leverage and below‑peer EBIT margins, producing a mixed fundamental picture where cash generation drives the valuation buffer.
