Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMCR

10/23/2026: AMCR (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Amcor PLC is a massive, globally diversified packaging provider that serves as a cornerstone for food, healthcare, and consumer-goods supply chains. The company's primary strength lies in its extensive scale, which allows it to provide specialized, reliable packaging that supports brand protection and sustainability. Its most significant recent opportunity is the successful integration of Berry Global, which is intended to unlock major cost synergies and consolidate its position as a global leader. However, investors face risks from high debt levels, integration execution, and potential regulatory shifts regarding plastics. The stock may best suit dividend-oriented investors who value the company's reliable income stream while being prepared to monitor the success of its ongoing M&A integration.

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, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

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 0.25%.

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 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.25%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 6.98%
State Street Corp 6.84%
M&G PLC 6.00%
Amvescap Plc. 5.54%
Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc 3.36%

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. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with solid cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

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.
