Silgan (SLGN) is a leading manufacturer of sustainable rigid packaging solutions for the world. Its revenue and earnings have grown through acquisitions and price growth, rather than organic growth or volume growth.

It has a high debt-equity ratio and no signs of strong fundamentals as there were no uptrends in ROE and operating parameters. There is no margin of safety at the current high product selling prices. With an unsustainable Reinvestment rate, it is not an investment opportunity.

I screen for US stocks frequently but not all are investment opportunities like SLGN.

NYSE Silgan is a leading manufacturer of sustainable rigid packaging solutions for the world. growth over the past 13 years was driven more by acquisitions than organic growth. It was also due more to price growth rather than volume growth.

Acquisitions were carried out at an unsustainable Reinvestment rate. There were also no uptrends in the ROE and operating parameters. All these do not point to strong fundamentals.

There is only some margin of safety if you believe that the current high product selling prices will persist. With an unsustainable Reinvestment rate, it is not an investment opportunity
