Key Takeaways Amcor launched its first Moda rotary vacuum chamber sealing system in Brazil with Barra Mansa.AMCR installed three Moda Vac systems, replacing up to nine belt chamber machines.Barra Mansa is expected to run a leading rotary vacuum sealing system by 2026. Amcor plc (AMCR - Free Report) recently introduced its Moda rotary vacuum chamber sealing technology in Brazil through a partnership with Barra Mansa Alimentos, a leading meat processor in the country. The installation marks the first deployment of the Moda system in Brazil and represents an important step in Amcor's expansion across Latin America's protein market.
The project was undertaken as part of Barra Mansa's new deboning line. The company sought a solution to improve productivity, enhance vacuum packaging performance for its Oranges Alimentos brand and simplify production processes. To support the initiative, Amcor supplied its Moda Vac high-speed system, along with packaging materials, equipment services and technical support.
The installation included three Moda Vac rotary vacuum chamber sealing systems, replacing up to nine belt chamber machines that are commonly used across the Latin American protein industry. The upgraded setup increased production capacity while improving vacuum performance, operational consistency and process reliability. It also enhanced throughput and packaging quality across production lines.
The project reflects Amcor's integrated approach of combining packaging materials, equipment, and technical expertise to support customer operations. Brazil remains an important market for the company as it continues to invest in packaging technologies, manufacturing capabilities and technical resources across the region.
Once all three production lines are completed in 2026, Barra Mansa is expected to operate one of the region's most advanced rotary vacuum sealing systems.

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Closure Systems International (“CSI”), a global leader in closure solutions, today announced the acquisition of two beverage closure compression molding facilities from Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX:AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions. The facilities were part of Amcor’s Rigid Packaging Solutions North America business.

The Erie facility is an approximately 183,000-square-foot site with a long-standing operational footprint and specialized assets.

Over the past year, we have executed a smooth integration, built a strong leadership structure, and made meaningful progress on synergy delivery and portfolio optimization.
Amcor (AMCR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.96 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate . This compares to earnings of $0.9 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -0.19%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this packaging company would post earnings of $0.83 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.86, delivering a surprise of +3.61%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Amcor, which belongs to the Zacks Containers - Paper and Packaging industry, posted revenues of $5.91 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.81%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.33 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Amcor shares have lost about 9.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%.
What's Next for Amcor?While Amcor has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Amcor was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.17 on $5.87 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.94 on $22.92 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Containers - Paper and Packaging is currently in the bottom 35% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Karat Packing (KRT - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 7.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Karat Packing's revenues are expected to be $113 million, up 9.1% from the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter ended March 2026, Amcor (AMCR - Free Report) reported revenue of $5.91 billion, up 77.4% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.96, compared to $0.90 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +3.81% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.7 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.96, the EPS surprise was -0.19%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how Amcor performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Net Sales- Global Flexible Packaging Solutions: $3.25 billion versus the three-analyst average estimate of $3.09 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +24.8%.Net Sales- Global Rigid Packaging Solutions: $2.66 billion versus the three-analyst average estimate of $2.41 billion. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +265.9%.Adjusted EBIT- Global Flexible Packaging Solutions: $452 million versus the three-analyst average estimate of $479.54 million.Adjusted EBIT- Global Rigid Packaging Solutions: $276 million versus the three-analyst average estimate of $265.91 million.Adjusted EBIT- Other: $-42 million compared to the $-24.57 million average estimate based on two analysts.View all Key Company Metrics for Amcor here>>>
Shares of Amcor have returned -3.6% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +10.3% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Amcor is reaffirmed as a Strong Buy, supported by robust fundamentals, an attractive ~6.9% dividend yield, and an undervalued share price despite a recent jump. 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. EPS growth, factoring in $270 million in Berry synergies and mitigating Iran conflict impacts despite a hit in their inventory expectations.
Amcor remains a Buy, offering a 6.5% dividend yield and trading at a significant discount to sector multiples. Despite recent underperformance versus the benchmark, I see developing tailwinds, stable bottom-line growth, and a defensive profile supporting long-term value. AMCR trades at 10x forward P/E with double-digit EPS growth expected, and management signals ongoing share buybacks and dividend stability.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Girard Sharp LLP, a national investment, securities, and consumer class action firm, is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of former Berry Global Group, Inc (“Berry”) investors who received shares of Amcor plc (“Amcor” or the “Company”) in connection with Amcor’s acquisition of Berry on April 30, 2025 (“Merger”).
AMCOR STOCK DROPS AFTER APRIL MERGER
Amcor is a Switzerland–based global packaging company that develops and produces packaging solutions across a broad range of market segments, including healthcare, agriculture, and food service. The Company states, “As a global leader in packaging solutions for consumer and healthcare products, our industry-leading innovation capabilities, global scale and technical expertise help our customers grow and meet the needs of millions of consumers every day.” Since the closing of the Merger, the Company’s stock price has declined in value.
If you are a former Berry investor with losses, please fill out this form, email [email protected], or call (866) 981-4800 for a free consultation.
Why Girard Sharp?
Girard Sharp represents investors, consumers, and institutions in class actions and other complex litigation nationwide. We recently obtained a $36.5 million securities settlement against Maxar Technologies, a space imagery company, after its share price collapsed following its acquisition of DigitalGlobe. Our attorneys have obtained multimillion-dollar recoveries for victims of unfair and deceptive practices in antitrust, financial fraud, and consumer protection matters against some of the country’s largest corporations, including Raymond James, John Hancock, and Sears. Girard Sharp has earned top-tier rankings from U.S. News and World Report for Securities and Class Action Litigation and has been repeatedly selected as an Elite Trial Lawyers finalist by the National Law Journal.
With the S&P 500 grinding sideways and Treasury yields keeping income hunters on edge, dividend-paying stocks trading under $40 are getting a fresh look from retail investors who want defensive cash flow without paying a premium. Consumer packaging is about as defensive as the materials sector gets, and one global leader is sitting well below its long-term fair value while still raising the payout. That combination is rare enough to warrant a closer look right now.
With that in mind, here is one stock trading under $40 that looks mispriced relative to its income profile and synergy runway.
Amcor (NYSE: AMCR) Amcor (NYSE:AMCR | AMCR Price Prediction) is a UK-domiciled packaging company that makes flexible packaging, rigid containers, closures, and cartons for the food, beverage, healthcare, beauty, and home care customers you already buy from every week. After closing the all-stock acquisition of Berry Global on April 30, 2025, it now sits at the center of a $23 billion revenue platform serving consumer staples brands across more than 40 countries.
Shares closed at $38.38 on May 22, 2026, down 6.74% year-to-date and 11.2% over the past year. For a retail investor scanning under-$40 names, that slide is the opportunity: a global consumer packaging leader has been sold down with the broader materials group, even though its end markets are mostly recession-resistant.
The fundamentals back up the income thesis. Amcor pays a $0.65 quarterly dividend, an annualized $2.60 per share, with the next payment due June 17, 2026. The custom thesis frames the forward dividend yield near 5.87%, and management raised the payout 1.96% year-over-year while integrating the largest deal in its history. Forward earnings sit at roughly 10x, with trailing earnings per share of $1.24. The analyst consensus price target of $48.21 sits well above the current quote, and Truist Securities reiterated a Buy rating with a $60 price target after the most recent results.
The bull case is straightforward. Q3 fiscal 2026 delivered adjusted EPS of $0.96 on revenue of $5.91 billion, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 15.1% from 14.3% a year earlier. Berry synergies hit $77 million in the quarter and $140 million year-to-date, tracking the upper end of the $270 million annual target and the $650 million total pre-tax synergy goal by fiscal 2028. Management reaffirmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.98 to $4.03, roughly 12% growth at the midpoint. CEO Peter Konieczny said the “Third quarter results were in line with expectations and reflect the resilience of our business as we mark the first anniversary of bringing legacy Amcor and Berry together as One Amcor.” The custom thesis adds that Amcor is trading at a 26% discount to long-term fair value, with its narrow economic moat anchored by global scale and entrenched relationships with consumer staples customers still intact.
The risk that cuts against the thesis is leverage. Net debt stands at $14.27 billion after the Berry deal, GAAP net interest expense doubled to $153 million, and management trimmed free cash flow guidance to $1.50 billion to $1.60 billion after Middle East conflict-driven inventory build. Combined volumes were about 1.5% lower year-over-year, and Wells Fargo cut its price target to $41 with an Equal Weight rating citing macro headwinds. Those concerns are real, but they sit on top of a cash-generative consumer packaging franchise that continues to compound through the Berry integration.
For income-focused investors who want a defensive consumer-tied cash flow stream at a discount, Amcor under $40 looks like a high-conviction setup backed by yield, synergy capture, and analyst upside.
The Takeaway Amcor’s under-$40 quote only matters because the underlying yield, synergy roadmap, and analyst targets line up behind it. Do your own research on the leverage profile, free cash flow cadence, and integration milestones before deciding whether this packaging giant fits your portfolio.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Amcor (AMCR - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 5.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Amcor due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Amcor's Q3 Earnings Meet Estimates, Sales Beat on Berry AcquisitionAmcor delivered third-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share, up 6% year over year and in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Reported net sales climbed 77% from the year-ago quarter to $5.91 billion and beat the consensus mark of $5.69 billion.
Results reflected the first full year of the Berry combination and continued integration progress, including $77 million of acquisition synergies in the quarter, along with cost and productivity actions that supported profitability.
Amcor's Margins Improve Despite Integration CostsProfitability advanced meaningfully in the quarter as adjusted EBITDA rose to $892 million from $477 million in the prior-year quarter, translating to a 15.1% margin, up from 14.3% a year ago. Adjusted EBIT increased to $687 million from the prior-year quarter’s $384 million, with the adjusted EBIT margin increasing to 11.6%, highlighting better mix and execution across the combined platform.
The top line was primarily shaped by acquisition-driven expansion. On a constant-currency basis, net sales grew 70% year over year, including $2.4 billion of acquired sales net of divestments, while raw material pass-through had no material impact on consolidated revenues.
Underlying demand remained pressured. Amcor estimated that volumes were 1.5% lower than estimated combined volumes for the legacy Amcor and legacy Berry businesses in the prior-year quarter (excluding non-core and divested businesses). Price/mix was described as having no material impact on net sales.
Flexibles Segment Gains From Scale BenefitsGlobal Flexible Packaging Solutions posted net sales of $3.25 billion, up 35% on a reported basis and 29% in constant currency. Adjusted EBIT increased to $452 million from the prior-year quarter’s $343 million, lifting segment profitability.
The company cited higher volumes in pet food and protein, offset by softer demand in healthcare and other nutrition. Regional trends were also mixed, with volumes lower across North America and Europe and higher across Asia. The segment’s profit improvement reflected integration benefits, productivity and cost performance, partly offset by the volume backdrop.
Rigids Segment Absorbs Weather DisruptionsGlobal Rigid Packaging Solutions generated net sales of $2.66 billion, up 187% year over year on a reported basis and 174% in constant currency, again reflecting the enlarged portfolio following the Berry deal. Adjusted EBIT rose to $276 million, marking a significant increase from the prior-year quarter’s $70 million.
However, the company highlighted an estimated $25-million impact of U.S. storms within the segment, which tempered the results even as synergy capture and cost initiatives supported profitability in the combined footprint.
Amcor's Balance Sheet UpdatesAs of March 31, 2026, Amcor had $1.59 billion in cash and cash equivalents compared with $0.83 billion as of June 30, 2025. The company generated $556 million of cash in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared with $276 million in the year-ago comparable period, while net debt stood at $14.27 billion at the quarter-end. The board also declared a quarterly dividend of 65 cents per share.
Amcor Lowers EPS & Free Cash Flow ViewAMCR has updated its fiscal 2026 outlook, guiding adjusted earnings of $3.98-$4.03 per share, lower than the prior stated $4.00-$4.15. The company also reduced its free cash flow forecast to $1.5-$1.6 billion from the previously mentioned $1.8-$1.9 billion, citing a shift toward higher inventory levels at higher costs to protect customer service levels amid Middle East conflict-related supply considerations.
