Overweight
Reason
Wells Fargo lowered the firm's price target on Amcor to $9 from $11 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes packaging stocks have largely lagged the broader market in Q3 as sluggish volumes are a key headwind. Though most companies are executing well, Wells is not sure an inflection is imminent.

Sector Perform
Reason
RBC Capital initiated coverage of Amcor with a Sector Perform rating and A$13.60 price target. The stock represents reasonable long-term value as the company delivers upon the targeted $650M Berry synergies by FY28, but the share price will likely remain under pressure as packaging volumes continue to decline and debt concerns arise, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
JPMorgan assumed coverage of Amcor with an Overweight rating and price target of $10, down from $11.10. The firm views Amcor as the leader in the global packaging industry. The stock has underperformed since Amcor announced the acquisition of Berry Global on November 19, 2024, but the free cash flow generation targets "are not strenuous," the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan expects Amcor to capture $590M in cost synergies over three years.

Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Amcor with a Buy rating and A$16.50 price target, which offers 31% upside. While the company's demand backdrop remains challenging, Amcor's valuation at current levels provides support, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the company's growth in the medium term will be underpinned by Berry Global acquisition synergies.
