O-I Glass Inc (OI) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at the moment. While there are some positive catalysts such as improved gross margin and analyst upgrades, the company's recent financial performance shows declining revenue, net income, and EPS, which are critical for long-term growth. Additionally, technical indicators suggest no clear upward momentum, and options data reflects a lack of strong bullish sentiment. Given the user's impatience and unwillingness to wait for optimal entry points, holding off on investing in OI for now is recommended.
The stock's MACD is negative and expanding downward, indicating bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 28.659, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). However, the stock is trading near its support level of 15.092, with resistance at 16.7. Overall, the technical indicators do not strongly support a buy signal.
Gross margin increased by 17.30% YoY in Q4
Analysts have recently upgraded the stock with higher price targets, reflecting some optimism.
Adjusted earnings for 2025 nearly doubled compared to 2024, and free cash flow rebounded to $168 million.
Revenue declined by 1.90% YoY in Q4 2025, and net income dropped by 10.39%.

The MACD and RSI do not indicate a strong upward trend, and the stock is trading near support levels.
Options data shows limited bullish sentiment, with low call volume and open interest.
In Q4 2025, revenue dropped to $1.5 billion (-1.90% YoY), net income fell to -$138 million (-10.39% YoY), and EPS dropped to $0 (-100% YoY). However, gross margin improved to 15.8% (+17.30% YoY), and adjusted earnings for 2025 nearly doubled from 2024, with free cash flow rebounding to $168 million.
Recent analyst upgrades include Truist raising the price target to $21 and maintaining a Buy rating, Wells Fargo upgrading to Overweight with a price target of $18, and Citi raising the price target to $17 with a Neutral rating. Analysts highlight self-help-driven profit growth and modestly challenged packaging volumes but note a lack of near-term catalysts for a rebound.
