Ardagh Metal Packaging (LU2369833749) was at EUR 3.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 12:11 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the EUR 3.95 prior close. Citi kept a Buy rating and a USD 6.00 price target for the company on October 2, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Citi target stays above consensus

The USD 6.00 target is above the USD 5.16 analyst consensus cited by Markets Insider. The same report identified Anthony Pettinari as the Citi analyst and said the company generated USD 1.71 billion in revenue and USD 35.0 million in net profit in the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

That quarterly revenue compared with USD 1.46 billion in the year-earlier period, while net profit increased from USD 5.0 million. The comparison gives the rating a stronger operating backdrop than the unchanged EUR 3.95 Lang & Schwarz price alone would suggest.

Second-quarter figures set the baseline

The finance statements for the second quarter of 2026 show diluted earnings per share of USD 0.06, total assets of USD 5.57 billion and operating cash flow of USD 292.0 million. Revenue also rose from USD 1.50 billion in the first quarter of 2026 to USD 1.71 billion in the second quarter.

Ardagh Metal Packaging supplies recyclable metal beverage cans and ends. The company operates 23 production facilities in nine countries and reported sales of USD 5.5 billion for fiscal year 2025, according to its investor-relations release dated September 25, 2026.

Results date is October 22

The next scheduled milestone is the third-quarter 2026 results release and investor call on October 22, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EDT, as stated by Ardagh Metal Packaging. That date gives the market a defined next checkpoint after the second-quarter revenue and profit improvement.
