# Amcor plc (AMCR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Distributors. Price $45.15, market value $20.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 19.0×** (5-yr avg 19.2×, 3-yr avg 21.3×). Amcor plc trades at 19.0× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 19.2×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 10.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.21**. A PEG of 0.21 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.8×**. The shares trade at 1.8× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.0×**. Enterprise value is 10.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.9%** (5-yr avg 6.0%). Free cash flow equals 5.9% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 6.0%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 5.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 20.0%**. Amcor plc keeps 20.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 8.1%**. 8.1% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 4.7%**. 4.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.4%**. 9.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.1%.
- **Return on assets: 3.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.0% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 48.8%** (3-yr -12.3%/yr, 5-yr -4.6%/yr). Earnings per share rose 48.8%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 18.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 18.7% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.18**. Debt is 1.18 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.8×**. It would take 3.8 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 1.25** (quick 1.25). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.25 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.80**. A Z-score of 1.80 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

- **Payout ratio: 108%** (97% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (108% payout), though free cash flow still covers it.
