On May 20, Wells Fargo lowered its price recommendation on Amcor plc (NYSE:AMCR) to $41 from $43. It reiterated an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm said it recently met with Amcor’s senior leadership team during investor visits. Discussions focused on the company’s ability to capture merger synergies, reduce leverage on its balance sheet, and use its global scale to manage potential impacts from the Middle East. Wells Fargo noted that while the risk-reward profile appears somewhat favorable, limited visibility into volume trends keeps the firm on the sidelines.

During Amcor’s fiscal Q3 2026 earnings call, CEO Konieczny said the company expects adjusted EPS for fiscal 2026 to be between $3.98 and $4.03 per share. He noted that the midpoint of that range represents roughly 12% growth and said most of the increase is expected to come from merger synergies.

CFO Scherger reaffirmed the company’s full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.98 to $4.03 per share. He also said Amcor now expects fiscal 2026 free cash flow to be between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion. According to Scherger, the updated free cash flow outlook reflects the company’s decision to maintain higher inventory levels.
