Why it matters

  1. What Amcor does

    Amcor designs and makes flexible and rigid packaging for food, beverage, and medical products. Consumer brands pay them to protect products on shelves and meet sustainability goals. The business is pushing new sustainable pet food packaging formats to capture demand in growing pet care categories.

  2. What it does best

    Amcor turns out massive volumes of packaging with a global footprint that smaller rivals cannot match. Scale keeps unit costs low, protecting margins in a low-margin sector.

  3. The main risk

    Net debt sits at $12.9 billion against total debt of $14.0 billion, leaving heavy debt obligations. If cash generation slows down, servicing these obligations leaves little room for error.

Quality, check by check

Scored against its own industry, from company filings.

ProfitabilityWeak

Operating margin sits at 9.1% and net margin is 4.7%. Low margins across large revenue volumes show scale does not translate into high per-unit profits.

MoatFair

Scale and deep customer relationships lock in global consumer brands. With gross margins sitting in the bottom quartile at the 29th percentile, pricing power remains limited.

GrowthFast

Revenue jumped to $23.5 billion from $15.0 billion previously, landing in the top decile of its sector for revenue growth at the 97th percentile.

Financial healthWeak

Total debt of $14.0 billion outweighs cash of $1.1 billion, and interest coverage is 3.2x. Free cash flow reached $1.2B, but the heavy debt load keeps the balance sheet soft.

Insiders

Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.

No open market buys or unplanned sales by executives or directors.
