Ball shares rose after the company swung to a profit and said customer strength is expected to keep driving earnings growth.

The stock rose 10% to $62.36 on Tuesday, hitting a 52-week high. Shares have gained 30% over the past three months.

The aluminum-can maker said during a call with analysts that it is growing faster than the rest of the industry thanks to customer strength. Its customers include companies in the energy drinks, soft drinks and beer.

Ball swung to a profit in the fourth quarter, with sales jumping 16%.

It also expects annual earnings per share to grow 10% or more.

"As we look to 2026 and beyond, we remain confident in the growth of aluminum packaging," Chief Financial Officer Dan Rabbitt said.
