Amcor's adjusted EBIT of USD 689 million in the quarter ended September 2026 was 3% higher than last year on a constant-currency basis and excluding divestitures. Half-year adjusted EPS guidance, 5% lower at the midpoint than previously guided, reflects the timing of pass-throughs. Shares fell 7%.
Exposure to high-growth emerging markets balances low-volume growth in mature developed markets for products with similar or higher profit margins.
Amcor’s aggressive acquisition strategy has the potential for overcapitalization, overcapacity, and lower-than-expected cost synergies.
