Ball is capacity-constrained in North America until the new Millersburg plant ramps up, limiting volume growth to the low end of its guidance range.
Доказательства
“As it relates to 2026, for North America specifically, quite frankly, we're sold out, and we are a bit capacity constrained until we can get our Millersburg asset up and running.”
The BenePak acquisition adds capacity in Europe for roughly $1.7B units, but earnings will be flat in 2026 as the plants are brought into the network.
Доказательства
“This year, we think it's going to do around about a billion seven of... 1.7 billion, excuse me, of volumes. And operating earnings, the comparable operating earnings are really projected to be pretty close to flat.”
Tariff costs on aluminum ends are impacting North America margins in 2026, but are being transitioned as part of the cost structure.
Доказательства
“Tariffs are certainly something that every company is monitoring, but as we sit here today, there's no direct impact on our business beyond the ends piece that we've mentioned, and it is a pass-through, as you say.”
