Market Analysis from the Investor Signals team.
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.

Amcor is under Algo Engine buy conditions and is a current holding in our ASX 100 model portfolio.
Buy AMC at $15
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.

is unlikely and investors should now take profit or sell covered calls.

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.
