Investors looking for stocks in the Containers - Paper and Packaging sector might want to consider either Amcor (AMCR) or Avery Dennison (AVY). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
For younger investors or those on a tight budget, investing in stocks to generate consistent passive income can be daunting because many top dividend stocks trade at prices ranging from $25 to over $100 per share.
Retirement can be daunting, but it doesn't need to be. Imagine having an expert in your corner to help you with your financial goals.
Amcor is a global packaging leader trading below pre-pandemic levels, offering a strong dividend and attractive risk-reward after acquiring Berry Global. The Berry Global acquisition brings significant synergy potential, expected to drive 12% EPS accretion by FY26 and 35%+ by FY28, doubling cash flow. As a Dividend Aristocrat, Amcor's dividend yield is historically high at 5.6%, and the Berry deal should support its sustainability while allowing for future buybacks and balance sheet improvement.
I'm adding to my Amcor PLC position as financial results remain solid and shares are attractively priced, offering a strong risk premium over Treasuries. Despite a slight revenue decline, net income surged 16.25% due to sustainable cost reductions, and increased cash balances offset higher debt. The valuation is compelling: shares trade at a discount with a PE of 16 and market expectations for just 1% growth, which I view as overly pessimistic.
Many brokerage firms charge no or very low commissions for stock trades. Many of today's top investors started buying stocks when they were much younger.
Though some investors relish market volatility for the potential to win during localized upswings, most retail investors take turbulence as a sign to seek lower-risk opportunities. With even the typically solid U.S. Treasury bond space facing noteworthy challenges this year, some of the traditional safe havens are perhaps not as protected as investors often think.
Although weak demand and tariffs cloud the Zacks Containers - Paper and Packaging industry's near-term outlook, BXBLY, AMCR and ATR are navigating the challenges well.
AMCR's fiscal Q3 results reflect flat y/y volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impact. It expects 12% EPS accretion in FY26 from the Berry Global merger.
