Amcor Plc Hits New 52-Week Low at USD 7.97 Amid Decline

Amcor Plc, a mid-cap player in the packaging industry, has recently reached a new 52-week low of USD 7.97 on September 24, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the stock, which has experienced a 1-year performance drop of 19.48%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 16.41% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at approximately USD 18,983 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.00. Amcor's dividend yield is notably high at 197.67%, although its return on equity is relatively modest at 7.30%. The stock's price-to-book ratio is recorded at 1.62, indicating its valuation in relation to its assets.

Despite a healthy long-term growth trajectory, with net sales increasing at an annual rate of 3.78%, Amcor has faced challenges, including a 30.4% year-over-year rise in raw material costs. The company has also seen a decline in profits by 5.5% over the past year, contributing to its consistent underperformance against the S&P 500 benchmark. High institutional holdings at 69.7% suggest a strong interest from larger investors, who have increased their stakes by 9.15% in the previous quarter.
