Ball Analysts Boost Their Forecasts Following Upbeat Q4 Results

Benzinga02-04 21:20

Ball Corp (NYSE:BALL) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results on Tuesday.

Ball reported quarterly earnings of 91 cents per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 89 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $3.347 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.109 billion.

Ball said FY2026 adjusted EPS is expected to be more than $3.93 versus market estimates of $3.97.

“We closed the year with a strong fourth quarter where across our businesses we delivered robust volume growth and operating earnings, capping off a record year for Ball. Our success reflects disciplined execution and the strength of the Ball Business System, serving our customers, empowering our people and culture, and driving operational excellence every shift, every day. These pillars enabled us to meet our 2025 expectations, achieve record earnings per share, and return approximately $1.54 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends,” said Ron Lewis, chief executive officer.

Ball shares gained 0.5% to $62.10 in pre-market trading.

These analysts made changes to their price targets on Ball following earnings announcement.
