Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMCR

09/24/2026: AMCR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Amcor PLC is a major global provider of flexible and rigid packaging solutions for diverse consumer industries. The company benefits from a defensive business model and significant scale, which helps support consistent cash flow and dividend payouts. Its primary growth opportunity lies in leading the shift toward sustainable and recyclable packaging, a critical demand driver. However, the company faces risks related to raw material price volatility, high debt levels, and intense competition within the packaging sector. The stock is best suited for value-oriented and income-focused investors who prioritize stability and are monitoring the company's ability to maintain margins while investing in its sustainable transformation.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMCR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AMCR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+116.4%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.2%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 4.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.27%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AMCR's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.2B (5.2% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AMCR's strongest growth driver at +116.4% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+56.6%, strong) and free-cash-flow growth (+51.7%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 79.7% and approximately 99.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.27%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 6.88%
State Street Corp 6.32%
M&G PLC 6.00%
Amvescap Plc. 4.92%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.21%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AMCR generates approximately $200 of gross profit, $81 of operating income, and $52 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 14.12%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AMCR has a large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
