Amcor's fiscal first quarter 2026 marks the first full quarter operating as a combined entity following the Berry Global acquisition, and the results offer an early read on whether the transformational deal can deliver on its ambitious synergy promises. Adjusted EPS of $0.193 per share came in above the midpoint of guidance and grew 18% on a constant currency basis, driven primarily by the addition of Berry earnings, disciplined cost management, and $38 million in synergy delivery, toward the upper end of the guided range. EBIT margin expanded meaningfully, with the reported figure reaching 12%, up 110 basis points versus legacy Amcor's prior year and 50 basis points above the combined comparable. The Rigid Packaging segment was the most striking illustration of the deal's transformative scale, with EBIT margin jumping 420 basis points to 11.9% as Berry's earnings were consolidated for the first time on a full-quarter basis.
