Amcor plc Completes 1‑for‑5 Reverse Stock Split

Amcor plc (NYSE: AMCR; ASX: AMC), a global leader in responsible packaging solutions, announced on 15 January 2026 that it has completed the previously announced 1‑for‑5 reverse stock‑split. The split was approved by shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting held on 6 November 2025.

Industry Context

The packaging sector continues to evolve with increased demand for sustainable and hygienic solutions, particularly in the meat packaging market. A recent Mordor Intelligence report (15 January 2026) projects steady growth in the global meat packaging market, driven by regulatory changes, retail modernization, and rising consumer demand for safe, ready‑to‑eat products. Amcor’s reverse split and subsequent market activities position the company to capitalize on these trends.
