• Amcor plc (NYSE: AMCR) reported adjusted diluted EPS of $1.23, exceeding the analyst estimate of $1.19.
• Fiscal fourth-quarter net sales increased 26% to $6.40 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of approximately $6.05 billion.
• GAAP net income improved to $389 million, compared with a $39 million net loss in the prior-year quarter.

Amcor plc (NYSE: AMCR) is a global packaging company serving the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, healthcare, personal-care and other consumer-goods industries. On August 12, 2026, Amcor reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2026.

Amcor reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.23, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.19. Adjusted EPS increased 23% from $1.00 in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, diluted EPS was $0.83, compared with a loss of $0.10 per share a year earlier. 

Quarterly net sales were $6.40 billion, up 26% from approximately $5.08 billion in the prior-year period. Revenue exceeded the reported analyst estimate of approximately $6.05 billion by roughly $350 million.

The 26% increase in fourth-quarter sales was driven largely by the inclusion of Berry Global’s operations following the companies’ combination, which was completed on April 30, 2025. Higher selling prices associated with passing increased raw-material costs to customers also contributed approximately $280 million to quarterly sales.

Amcor reported GAAP net income of $389 million, compared with a net loss of $39 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP operating income reached $646 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 32% to approximately $1.05 billion from $789 million.

For the full fiscal year, Amcor generated net sales of $23.51 billion, up 57% largely because of the Berry acquisition. Full-year GAAP net income increased to $1.11 billion from $511 million, while adjusted diluted EPS rose 13% to $4.02 from $3.56.

Although the reported sales growth was substantial, much of it resulted from the expanded company following the Berry combination rather than organic growth. Investors should therefore consider volume performance, acquisition synergies, margins and cash flow alongside the headline revenue increase when assessing Amcor’s underlying performance.
