Amcor's EPS Could Surprise as Data Turns Positive -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 05

2126 GMT - Packaging company Amcor had a tough 2025. But Jefferies sees a number of positive indicators that suggest earnings could finally recover. It says 2H should benefit from a bigger step up in cost savings. Analyst Ramoun Lazar also points to an improvement in non-core Beverages businesses and an easier bar to clear when measuring volumes against a year ago. "The low-end of EPS appears 'worst case' if 1H volume trends (down low-single digit percent) continue into 2H," says Jefferies. "However, scanner data has inflected positive, providing upside to consensus EPS for a stock not pricing-in much success and on 10x near-term PE." Jefferies retains a buy call on Amcor.
