AMCR’s Revenues Benefit From AcquisitionTotal revenues increased 26% year over year to $6.40 billion in the reported quarter. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.03 billion.

AMCR generated a free cash flow of $1.30 billion in fiscal 2026 compared with $926 million in fiscal 2025. The company noted that free cash flow was below expectations due to higher-than-expected working-capital impacts related to the Middle East conflict and the timing of integration costs.

Amcor’s Zacks RankPerformances of Other Packaging Stocks This Earnings SeasonPackaging Corporation of America (PKG - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.35 per share, falling 5.2% year over year but beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.31. The bottom line also came above Packaging Corp’s guidance of $2.33.

Packaging Corp’s revenues increased 14.7% year over year to $2.49 billion and surpassed the consensus estimate of $2.40 billion by 3.6%. Total corrugated products shipments reached an all-time quarterly record, rising 24.3% both per day and in total from the prior-year quarter.

Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.49 per share, up 15.8% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15 by 15.81%.

Crown Holdings revenues increased 16.5% to $3.67 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $3.34 billion by 9.88%. Global beverage can volumes rose 5%, led by 6% growth in Europe and 5% growth in the Americas. This was partially offset by softer demand in Latin America.

Sonoco Products Company (SON - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings of $1.51 per share in the second quarter of 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 by 2.72%. The figure rose 10.2% from $1.37 in the year-ago quarter. Pricing actions, favorable foreign-exchange movements and productivity gains helped offset the softer volume/mix during the quarter.

Sonoco’s revenues of $1.885 billion declined 1.3% year over year and missed the consensus mark of $1.886 billion by 0.05%. Sonoco’s top line declined from the prior-year period primarily due to the absence of sales from the ThermoSafe business, which was divested in November 2025.

The Department of Labor reported that the headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.1% in July, in contrast to a decline of 0.4% in June. However, the headline CPI print was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On the other hand, the headline CPI rose 3.4%, annually in July, down from the 3.5% annual rise in June. 

Core CPI (excluding volatile items like food and energy) rose 0.2% in July after remaining unchanged in June. Like CPI, the core CPI print was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Core CPI rose 2.5% annually in July, below the 2.6% annual rise in June.

The benign CPI and core CPI data for July may enable the Fed to stay away from hiking the benchmark interest rate in its upcoming September FOMC meeting. Fed officials will consider both the July and August inflation readings before meeting in September. Before today’s inflation data, the CME FedWatch tool has assigned a 50% probability for a September rate hike.

Adjusted EBIT of $352 million was 57% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $52 million of acquired EBIT which represents growth of approximately 24%.  The remaining 33% year-over-year variation mainly reflects synergy realization from the Berry acquisition and strong execution against initiatives to drive cost and productivity benefits, including the non-core businesses.

Net sales of $10,677 million, were 110% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $5.6 billion of acquired sales net of divestitures, which represents growth of approximately 114%, while the remaining (4%) year-over-year variation reflects lower volumes and price/mix.  The pass through of movements in raw material costs had no material impact on net sales.

Adjusted EBIT of $1,176 million was 161% higher than last year on a constant currency basis, including approximately $635 million of acquired EBIT net of divestitures which represents growth of approximately 146%.  The remaining 15% year-over-year variation mainly reflects synergy benefits from the Berry acquisition and cost reduction initiatives, partly  offset by lower volumes and lower earnings in non-core businesses. 

Adjusted EBIT margins of 11.0% were 220 basis points higher than the prior year reflecting the improved quality of the combined business.

Forward-looking statements are generally identified with words like "believe," "expect," "target," "project," "may," "could," "would," "approximately," "possible," "will," "should," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "commit," "estimate," "potential," "ambitions," "outlook," or "continue," the negative of these words, other terms of similar meaning, or the use of future dates. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the management of Amcor and are qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Neither Amcor nor any of its respective directors, executive officers, or advisors, provide any representation, assurance, or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements will actually occur or if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on the business, results of operations or financial condition of Amcor.

You can obtain copies of Amcor's filings with the SEC for free at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). Forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof and Amcor does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, or any other information in this communication, as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or to correct any inaccuracies or omissions in them which become apparent, except as expressly required by law. All forward-looking statements in this communication are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Presentation of non-GAAP information

Included in this release are measures of financial performance that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA (calculated as earnings before interest and tax and depreciation and amortization), adjusted EBIT and EBIT (calculated as earnings before interest and tax), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, and net debt.  In arriving at these non-GAAP measures, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on the income statement or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not singled out, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base. Note that while amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, the revenue of the acquired entities and all other expenses unless otherwise stated, are reflected in our non-GAAP financial performance earnings measures. While not all inclusive, examples of these items include: material restructuring programs, including associated costs such as employee severance, pension and related benefits, impairment of property and equipment and other assets, accelerated depreciation, termination payments for contracts and leases, contractual obligations, and any other qualifying costs related to restructuring plans; material sales and earnings from disposed or ceased operations and any associated profit or loss on sale of businesses or subsidiaries; changes in the fair value of economic hedging instruments on commercial paper and contingent purchase consideration; pension settlements; impairments in goodwill and equity method investments; material acquisition compensation and transaction costs such as due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, financing-related expenses; and integration costs; material purchase accounting adjustments for inventory; amortization of acquired intangible assets from business combination; gains or losses on significant property and divestitures and significant property and other impairments, net of insurance recovery; certain regulatory and legal matters; impacts from highly inflationary accounting; expenses related to the Company's CEO and CFO  transition; and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflict in the Middle East.

Amcor also evaluates performance on a comparable constant currency basis, which measures financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the average rates in effect for the comparable prior year period. In order to compute comparable constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, current-year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We then adjust for other items affecting comparability. While not all inclusive, examples of items affecting comparability include the difference between sales or earnings in the current period and the prior period related to disposed, or ceased operations. Comparable constant currency net sales performance also excludes the impact from passing through movements in raw material costs.  

Management has used and uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's reporting segments and certain of the measures are used as a component of Amcor's Board of Directors' measurement of Amcor's performance for incentive compensation purposes. Amcor believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to enable investors to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. For each of these non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure has been provided herein. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's outlook and guidance do not contemplate the impact of any potential portfolio optimization actions, including acquisitions, divestitures, or other portfolio actions, that have not been publicly announced as of the date of this release. The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome and timing of certain significant forward-looking items without unreasonable effort.  These items include but are not limited to the impact of foreign exchange translation, restructuring program costs, asset impairments, possible gains and losses on the sale of assets, certain tax related events, and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections in connection with the legacy Berry Global business given recency of access to all relevant information. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP earnings and cash flow measures for the guidance period.

Reconciliations of Transition Period projected non-GAAP measures are not included herein because the individual components are not known with certainty as individual financial statements for Transition Period have not been completed.

Reverse Stock Split

On January 14, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to its memorandum of association to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company's ordinary shares. The Reverse Split became effective on January 14, 2026 and reduced the number of authorized ordinary shares to 1,800,000,000 and increased the par value of the ordinary shares to $0.05 per share. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all prior periods presented in the discussion within this release have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Split.

Presentation of combined volume performance

In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of volume performance by region and end market for Amcor plc and for each of its reportable segments, the Company has included commentary to reflect Amcor's estimate of year-over-year volume performance for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2026 compared with estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and Berry Global businesses for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2025. The combined volume performance information has been presented for informational purposes and Amcor believes this information reflects the impact of the combination including allocation of volumes across the combined production footprint since May 1, 2025.  For the avoidance of doubt, combined volume performance information is not intended to be, and was not, prepared on a basis consistent with pro forma financial information required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Dividends

Amcor has received a waiver from the ASX's settlement operating rules, which will allow the Company to defer processing conversions between its ordinary share and CDI registers from September 3, 2026 to September 4, 2026 inclusive.

What the Zacks Model Unveils for AmcorOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Amcor this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

AMCR’s Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Amcor is -0.64%.

Amcor’s Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 4.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Factors Likely to Have Shaped AMCR’s Q4 PerformanceAmcor’s total volume had been bearing the brunt of weak consumer demand across its key markets due to the inflationary environment. Customers have also been lowering their inventory, which has impacted demand. Nonetheless, Amcor is expected to have gained from the rise in e-commerce activities worldwide.

We expect 1% growth in volumes in the fiscal fourth quarter. Overall price/mix benefits are expected to be a positive 0.6% for the quarter and currency impacts are likely to have added another 1%.

Amcor has been facing intermittent supply shortages and price volatility of certain resins and raw materials because of market dynamics and higher rates of inflation impacting other costs. The impacts of this are expected to be reflected in the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings results.

Our Q4 Projections for Amcor’s SegmentsWe expect volume for the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment’s fiscal fourth quarter to be 1%. The price/mix and currency impacts are expected to be 1% each. Our sales projection for the Global Flexible Packaging Solutions segment is pegged at $3.32 billion, indicating 11% year-over-year growth. The effect of the merger is expected to have a positive impact of 7%.

Our model estimates a 1% jump in volumes for the Global Rigid Packaging Solutions segment, a favorable currency impact of 1%. Price/mix is expected to be flat year over year. The sales projection for the segment is $2.69 billion, indicating a 29% year-over-year jump, including the positive impacts of the Berry Global acquisition, estimated at 32%.

AMCR’s Share Price PerformanceOver the past year, shares of Amcor have gained 5.4% compared with the industry’s 9.5% growth.

Recent Earnings Performance of Amcor’s PeerPackaging Corporation of America (PKG - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.35 per share, down 5.2% year over year but beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.31. The bottom line also came above Packaging Corp’s guidance of $2.33.

Packaging Corp’s revenues increased 14.7% year over year to $2.49 billion and surpassed the consensus estimate of $2.40 billion by 3.6%. Total corrugated products shipments reached an all-time quarterly record, rising 24.3% both per day and in total from the prior-year quarter.

Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.49 per share, up 15.8% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15 by 15.81%.

Crown Holdings revenues increased 16.5% to $3.67 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $3.34 billion by 9.88%. Global beverage can volumes rose 5%, led by 6% growth in Europe and 5% growth in the Americas. This was partially offset by softer demand in Latin America.

Sonoco Products Company (SON - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings of $1.51 per share in the second quarter of 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 by 2.72%. The figure rose 10.2% from $1.37 in the year-ago quarter. Pricing actions, favorable foreign-exchange movements and productivity gains helped offset softer volume/mix during the quarter.

Sonoco’s revenues of $1.885 billion declined 1.3% year over year and missed the consensus mark of $1.886 billion by 0.05%. Sonoco’s top line declined from the prior-year period primarily due to the absence of sales from the ThermoSafe business, which was divested in November 2025.

We need to talk about four of the cheapest dividend payers on the planet. I’m talking about blue-light bargain valuations and, our favorite, serious high yields!

These four pay from 4.7% to a terrific 12.6%. Yet the Wall Street suits have left them for dead, on the side of the road (or Street, if you will!). Which is fine with us careful contrarians. We’ll sort through the sale rack.

Let’s start with a telecom that stays cheap yet keeps paying us nearly 5% because this divvie perennially finds its way into the suits’ doghouse.

Discount Dividends #1 - AT&T (T)AT&T (T) is one of telecom’s “Big Three” alongside competitors Verizon (VZ) and T-Mobile US (TMUS).

On the upside, it enjoys an effective triopoly of the U.S. wireless market, where barriers to entry are sky-high. It also has some business diversification, servicing some 15 million domestic broadband customers, as well as 25 million wireless customers in Mexico.

These are heavily saturated markets, however, and they have been for quite some time. That’s why, from a pure price perspective, AT&T’s stock has never eclipsed its pre-dot-com peak. Most of its returns over the past few years have come from the dividend, making T feel more like a bond than a stock.

T Yield Chart

Ycharts

MORE FOR YOU

AT&T slashed its dividend by almost half in 2022 in an effort to both reduce its debt and pay for the continued buildout of its 5G and fiber infrastructure. A sharp rally between 2023 and 2025 was a further drag on the yield, which eventually sank below 4%.

Shares are now paying closer to 5% again, and AT&T (which historically trades at cheap multiples anyways) looks more attractive than it has in about a year. The stock trades at less than 4 times cash-flow estimates; a 0.9 price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio also suggests shares are on sale. (Remember: Any PEG below 1 implies a stock is undervalued.) We would be getting a stable stock, too, with a beta south of 0.5 signaling AT&T is less than half as volatile as the broader market.

But we would also be buying into an uncertain and unfriendly business environment. Cost pressures and price competition are weighing on the business again, IT spending has largely been concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers instead of 5G and fiber, and economic sluggishness has weighed on consumer demand.

Discount Dividends #2 - Amcor (AMCR)It’s rare for Dividend Aristocrats to go on sale, and it’s even rarer for them to pay much at all, let alone the 5%-plus that Amcor (AMCR) is currently throwing off.

Amcor makes food-related packaging products, including high-barrier paperboard trays for beef and meats, glass dressing bottles, overwrap for home and personal care. Its products are also used in garden and outdoor products, agriculture, pet care, healthcare, even building and construction.

The company went from a major player to an outright juggernaut last year when it bought rival Berry Global, and so far the deal has been a winner, with Amcor ahead of schedule on synergies. On the flip side, AMCR has struggled with weak consumer spending, which has put a lid on volumes.

In other words: Amcor is delivering M&A growth, but what we need to see more of is organic growth.

Shares have been up and down since I looked at Amcor in November—not much different from how AMCR has traded since recovering from its COVID lows. Dividend growth has been modest, too.

AMCR Dividend

Ycharts

If we did want to hold AMCR and wait for the economy to unleash this packaging giant, we wouldn’t have to pay much. Shares trade at less than 6 times cash-flow estimates and a thin PEG of 0.2. And we’d be collecting more than 5% for our patience.

Discount Dividends #3 - Concentrix (CNXC)Subscribers to my Hidden Yields service are probably smiling at the mention of Concentrix (CNXC), a global provider of customer service, tech support, sales and digital operations.

That’s because a little more than a year after we bought TD Synnex (SNX), it spun off Concentrix, unlocking a boatload of value in both companies. In fact, we booked 80%-plus gains in SNX, and we more than doubled our money in CNXC.

CNXC Total Returns

Ycharts

Concentrix has been hampered by numerous issues, but No. 1 with a bullet is artificial intelligence. Wall Street is increasingly convinced that automated AI agents will replace human customer service workers, disrupting CNXC’s business process outsourcing (BPO) operations. And clients have been redirecting funds away from outsourced headcount to fund their own internal AI development.

What comes next largely rests on its response: the Concentrix Intelligent Experience (iX) Product Suite, which is an enterprise-grade AI and generative AI technology toolkit. During the company’s most recent earnings conference call, CEO Chris Caldwell said his company saw “a record level of contract signings for our iX Suite of technology, up 400% year-over-year for the number of deals.”

Investors clearly doubt that Concentrix can reinvent itself as an AI customer-experience company, and we’re being dared to take the other side of that trade. CNXC stock trades at just 2 times cash-flow estimates and a PEG of 0.4.

Concentrix is also paying us dearly to believe in it, at almost 6% at current levels. And as the chart above shows, that dividend has been growing despite its troubles. The current payout represents 55% of earnings estimates for each of the next two years, which is plenty sustainable—as long as CNXC doesn’t decide to redirect that cash toward solving its business-model crisis.

Discount Dividends #4 - Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR)Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is a capital lifeline for the cannabis industry, serving as both a landlord and a primary lender in the space. As I’ve described the business before:

IIPR buys dispensary facilities from the operators who are often short on cash and can’t finance their buildings because of the many roadblocks set up between cannabis businesses and banks. In the transaction, IIPR hands them a chunk of cash they badly need. Then it leases the facility back to the operator for 15 to 20 years. Because traditional banks won’t touch the space, Innovative Industrial Properties negotiates incredibly favorable leases. They have long durations, built-in rent escalators and guarantees from the large corporate multi-state operator-lessees.IIPR was one of many cannabis stocks that bubbled up and eventually popped post-COVID. Excitement over momentum in state-level legalizations drove years’ worth of speculation. However, investors eventually faced reality: The industry’s growth remains limited by America’s federal prohibition of marijuana, as well as other legal and financial red tape.

But while Innovative Industrial Properties’ shares cratered alongside growers and retailers, its plumped-up dividend remained.

IIPR Dividend

Ycharts

Thanks to IIPR’s stock losses, the company now trades at about 8.5 times adjusted FFO (AFFO) estimates, and the yield is a wild 12.6%. But the math is uncomfortable: The REIT shells out $7.60 annually but expected to earn just $7.14 in AFFO per share this year.

An important headline to watch out for in the coming months is whether the Drug Enforcement Administration rules in favor of the Trump administration’s cannabis rescheduling proposal. Earlier this year, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued an order reclassifying state-licensed medical cannabis and FDA-approved marijuana products from the extremely restricted Schedule I (high abuse risk, no accepted medical use) to Schedule III (relatively low abuse risk, accepted medical uses). The proposal the agency is considering would more broadly move marijuana to Schedule III.

Put differently: Cannabis would go from being treated like heroin to being treated like Tylenol With Codeine.

The market expects Amcor (AMCR - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 12. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis packaging company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +20%.

Revenues are expected to be $6.06 billion, up 19.3% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.05% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Amcor?For Amcor, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.64%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Amcor will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Amcor would post earnings of $0.96 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.96, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Amcor doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Key Takeaways LYB partnered with Mondelez, Amcor and Taghleef on circular packaging for Marabou chocolate bars.The new packaging uses CirculenRevive polymers to enable 75% recycled content for food packaging.LYB plans future polymer supply from its MoReTec-1 recycling plant under construction in Germany. LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB - Free Report) has partnered with Mondelez International, Amcor, Taghleef Industries and other players in the industry to introduce an innovative flexible packaging solution for Marabou chocolate bars. The new packaging uses LYB’s CirculenRevive polymers, made with 100% attributed recycled content through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach, enabling packaging with 75% recycled content.

This move will help transform hard-to-recycle post-consumer mixed plastic waste into high-quality materials suitable for food packaging. The collaboration emphasizes the growing role of chemical recycling in supporting a circular ecosystem while maintaining the performance required for food packaging applications.

With this in mind, LYB plans to supply future polymers for Marabou packaging from its MoReTec-1 catalytic chemical recycling plant, currently under construction in Wesseling, Germany. Designed to process 50,000 metric tons of recycled feedstock annually, which will be used in LYB’s integrated circular ecosystem by converting mixed plastic waste into feedstock for polymer production.

The project depends on collaboration across the packaging value chain. LYB supplies the recycled polymers, Taghleef Industries manufactures the base film, Amcor converts it into flexible packaging and Mondelez brings the final product to consumers.

The new packaging also aligns with recycled-content requirements under the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. By integrating advanced recycling technologies, the partners are creating a solution that reduces dependence on fossil-based resources while introducing sustainable packaging for the food industry.

Q3 FY26 results exceeded expectations, with 6% Adj. EPS growth and a solid 15.1% Adj. EBITDA margin, while portfolio optimization and divestitures show $2.5 billion in potential proceeds. Revised guidance anticipates $1.5–$1.6 billion FCF and 12% Adj.

Amcor trades at an attractive valuation with a compelling 7% dividend yield and 8.8% free cash flow yield. Volume declines have pressured shares post-Berry acquisition, but easier comps and synergy realization set up for a 2027 recovery. AMCR's free cash flow conversion remains robust, with 2027 guidance implying $1.5–$1.6B FCF and double-digit EPS growth potential.

Amcor plc is rated a ‘buy' due to attractive valuation, strong dividend yield, and synergy-driven EPS growth. AMCR trades near its 52-week low at a 9.5x forward P/E and offers a 6.9% yield, well below its historical average multiple. Operational synergies from the Berry acquisition are driving EPS growth despite volume softness, with analysts projecting 7–8% annual EPS growth.
