Amcor (NYSE:AMCR) is back on investor radar after reporting fourth quarter sales of US$6.4b and net income of US$389m, alongside full year sales of US$23.5b and net income of US$1.1b.

The latest earnings release and dividend affirmation appear to have shifted sentiment toward Amcor. The stock’s recent 1 month share price return of 9.76% and 90 day share price return of 23.25% point to building momentum, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 17.60% contrasts with a 5 year total shareholder return that has declined 5.28%.

Most Popular Narrative: 2% Undervalued

Amcor’s most followed narrative puts fair value at $48.21, slightly above the last close of $47.45, which frames the recent share price strength in valuation terms.

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.
