Amcor (AMCR) has quietly slipped about 3% over the past week and remains down roughly 12% this year, even as revenue and net income continue to grow. This sets up an interesting value debate.
See our latest analysis for Amcor.
At around $8.20, Amcor’s 1 year to date share price return of negative 12.3% and 1 year total shareholder return of negative 13.4% signal fading momentum, even as earnings growth nudges sentiment rather than transforms it.
If you like the steady cash generation story but want more market excitement, this could be a good time to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With earnings still climbing, a solid dividend, and the shares trading at a sizeable discount to analyst targets, is Amcor now a quietly mispriced cash machine, or is the market already discounting its future growth?
With Amcor last closing at $8.20 and the most followed narrative pointing to fair value around $10.41, the gap rests on ambitious execution.
The integration of Berry Global with Amcor is expected to yield $650 million in synergies by fiscal 2028 (with $260 million in fiscal 2026), primarily through cost reduction, procurement optimization, and operational efficiencies, which should support sustained EPS and margin expansion.
Curious how cost savings, rising margins and faster profit growth translate into that higher value range? The narrative leans on bold, compounding upgrades to revenue, earnings and profitability. Want to see exactly how those moving parts stack up, year by year, to support a richer future valuation multiple and a meaningfully higher fair value?
Result: Fair Value of $10.41 (UNDERVALUED)

However, stubborn volume weakness and elevated leverage could easily derail the synergy story, forcing harsher portfolio actions and delaying any valuation re-rating.

On multiples, the picture is much harsher. Amcor trades on about 32.5 times earnings, well above the North American packaging average of 19 times and our fair ratio of 24.7 times, which suggests the shares could actually be priced for disappointment if growth underwhelms.
