Packaging Corp stock holds near $233 after dividend news

Packaging Corporation of America (US6951561090) stock traded at $233.60 after the company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.50 per share on September 2, 2026. MarketBeat said the stock carried a market cap of $20.81 billion, while the latest quarter delivered $2.49 billion in revenue and $2.35 EPS.

Dividend and valuation

The dividend now translates into $6.00 a year and a 2.6 percent yield, according to MarketBeat. The same report put the 12-month range at $191.50 to $259.98 and the P/E ratio at 30.34.

That places PKG closer to the upper half of its range than to the low end, even after a recent pullback to $233.60. The contrast matters because the 50-day moving average stood at $242.45 and the 200-day average at $227.74.

Latest quarter

Packaging Corp reported its quarterly figures on July 22, 2026. Revenue rose 14.7 percent from the prior year quarter to $2.49 billion, and EPS of $2.35 beat consensus by $0.04.

The margin picture stayed solid too, with net margin at 7.25 percent and return on equity at 18.94 percent. Guidance for Q3 2026 was set at $2.910 EPS.

Corrugated packaging core

Packaging Corp of America remains a North American maker of containerboard and corrugated packaging products, with design, testing and supply-chain services around the core mills and box network. That operating mix explains why revenue, dividend coverage and the 2026 EPS outlook matter together for investors.
