Amcor fiscal Q3 earnings preview: analysts expect $0.98 EPS, up 8.9% year-over-year

Amcor, a global packaging company valued at $19.6 billion, is preparing to announce its fiscal Q3 2026 earnings. Analysts expect the Zurich-based firm to report earnings of $0.98 per share, up 8.9% year-over-year from $0.90 per share. The company has beaten or met Wall Street estimates in three of the last four quarters. In Q2, Amcor reported adjusted earnings of $0.86 per share, exceeding expectations by 3.6%, though revenue of $5.4 billion missed forecasts by 1.8%. The 68.1% revenue increase was largely driven by the Berry acquisition. For fiscal 2026, analysts project earnings of $3.99 per share, up 12.4% from the previous year. Wall Street maintains a "Moderate Buy" rating, with a mean price target of $51.14, suggesting 20.7% upside potential.

Wells Fargo downgrades Amcor to Equal Weight, cuts price target to $43

Wells Fargo has downgraded Amcor plc to Equal Weight from Overweight and reduced its price target to $43 from $48. The bank cited disproportionate share price reactions across the packaging sector tied to the Iran conflict, favouring companies with low leverage, high US concentration and defensive production exposures. Amcor reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 86 cents, beating the 84-cent consensus, though revenue of $5.45 billion missed the $5.52 billion estimate. Chief executive Peter Konieczny said performance aligned with expectations despite challenging volumes, with earnings growth supported by disciplined execution and synergies from the Berry acquisition. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance of $4.00-$4.15 and expects free cash flow of $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion.

Amcor and DCM launch recyclable PE film with 35% recycled content for fertiliser packaging

Amcor has partnered with Belgian company De Ceuster Meststoffen (DCM) to launch a recyclable mono-material polyethylene film for the European fertiliser market. The packaging replaces DCM's previous multi-material structure, which could not be recycled through existing waste streams. The new packs contain 35% post-consumer recycled content and are available in sizes ranging from 650g to 7kg. The film uses machine-direction oriented PE combined with a functional sealant layer, providing gas and moisture resistance whilst maintaining strength and reducing puncture risk. DCM's communication manager Sofie Peeters noted that sustainability has been central to the company's philosophy since its founding in 1976. The solution helps brands meet sustainability objectives whilst complying with upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation requirements across Europe.
