Amcor drops sharply following reverse stock split and RBC's negative earnings outlook
Amcor completed a one-for-five reverse stock split on January 15, which mechanically increased the share price while reducing share count. Simultaneously, RBC Capital Markets warned that Amcor's Q2 earnings will likely be 'low quality' due to slumping CPG demand, according to MarketScreener.

Analysis

The sharp decline extends weakness that began January 16 when RBC's cautionary note first impacted shares. While reverse splits are technically neutral, they often signal management concern about share price levels and can trigger selling pressure. The combination of the split mechanics, analyst skepticism about earnings quality, and Amcor's divestiture of its ePac stake to Butterfly Equity creates multiple headwinds for the stock.
