Amcor updates FY24 EPS guidance to $0.685-$0.71, above the $0.69 estimate, and expects Q4 2024 adjusted EPS to increase mid-single-digit % over Q4 2023. Adjusted free cash flow is projected between $850M-$950M, with $70M allocated for share repurchases.
The upward revision in EPS guidance, especially being above the analyst estimate, is typically viewed positively by the market. The commitment to share repurchases can also be seen as a sign of confidence in the company's financial health and future prospects. However, the impact of the sale of the Russian business and higher estimated net interest and tax expense could be areas of concern for investors.
