Factors Likely to Have Shaped AMCR’s Q1 Performance
Amcor’s total volume had been bearing the brunt of weak consumer demand across its key markets due to the inflationary environment. Customers have also been lowering their inventory, which further impacted demand. Nonetheless, Amcor is expected to gain from the rise in e-commerce activities worldwide.
We expect 22.4% growth in volumes in the fiscal first quarter. The company’s volumes are expected to have gained from its recent merger with Berry Global. Overall price/mix benefits are expected to be 5.7% for the quarter.
Amcor has been facing intermittent supply shortages and price volatility of certain resins and raw materials because of market dynamics and higher rates of inflation impacting other costs. The impacts of this are expected to be reflected in the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings results.
