Heading into today, shares of the packaging company had gained 1.82% over the past month, outpacing the Industrial Products sector's loss of 1.07% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.08% in that time.

For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $7.26 per share and revenue of $14.99 billion, which would represent changes of +0.69% and +8.21%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Berry Global should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
