POSITIVE IMPACT
Sonoco's announcement of a 6% price increase for paperboard products may lead to higher revenues if demand remains stable, despite rising raw material costs.
The price increase directly impacts Sonoco's revenue potential. If the demand for their paperboard products remains inelastic, the price hike could lead to increased revenues. However, there is a risk that higher prices could reduce demand, but this is not indicated in the article. The confidence level is not at 100 because the actual impact on demand and revenue cannot be precisely predicted without further market data.
