For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect BALL to report a profit of $3.99 per share, up 11.8% from $3.57 per share in fiscal 2025. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 13.8% year over year to $4.54 in fiscal 2027.
BALL has rallied 3.9% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 20.3% return and the State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLY) 4.3% uptick over the same time period.
Ball's stagnant sales over the last two years have underscored the need for stronger growth catalysts. The stock has also been weighed down by elevated input costs that have pressured margins and persistently weak free cash flow generation, limiting the company's financial flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or enhance shareholder returns through higher dividends and share repurchases. As a result, it has lagged the broader market over the past year.
Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about BALL's stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 15 analysts covering the stock, ten recommend "Strong Buy," two indicate a "Moderate Buy," and three suggest "Hold." Its mean price target of $71 suggests a 17.4% potential upside from the current levels.
