Amcor – For the Brave

Amcor is a leading company within the global packaging space. Their business is directly impacted by slower global consumption and it’s understandable their share price has been hit with a 30% sell-off.

However, if you believe the sun will rise again and people will go out to play, Amcor is a market recovery opportunity that’s worth considering at these levels.

High Volatility – buy

 

 

Amcor – Buy

Amcor reaffirmed their guidance for 5 – 10% EPS growth and US$160mn in cost synergies over the next 3 years from the Bemis acquisition.

Half of the forecast EPS growth is being achieved through cost savings, so the underlying business remains at low single-digit growth. The Q1 update removes medium-term downside risks and with the stock offering a 4.8% yield, we expect support to build at $14.50.

Buy Amcor for a move back towards $15.50

Amcor – Take Profit

Amcor – Valuation Review

Amcor is now under Algo Engine buy conditions, following the higher low formation at $15.75.

Looking out to FY20 we have Amcor generating a combined revenue of $13.5bn, EBIT $1.65bn, delivering 8% EPS growth and trading on a 4.4% yield.

We see value at $15, however, with the defensive nature of the Amcor business, buying interest is likely to build closer to $15.50.
