Orora Delivered 'Uninspiring' Fiscal 2026 Results Amid Operational Headwinds at Saverglass Division, Jefferies Says

Orora (ASX:ORA) delivered an "uninspiring set of results" for fiscal 2026 amid ongoing operational headwinds at its Saverglass bottle manufacturing division, Jefferies said in a Thursday note.The company's fiscal 2027 guidance for a decline in earnings per share, combined with further glass industry-led downside risks, will keep investors sidelined until sustained evidence of stabilization becomes evident, the investment firm said.It lowered its earnings before interest and taxes forecasts for Orora by 5% in fiscal 2027 and by 3% in fiscal 2028, reflecting weak conditions driven by negative global pricing/mix headwinds. The EPS forecasts for Orora were downgraded by 15% and 18% for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028, respectively.The company's stock is trading cheaply, but a lack of near-term conviction remains on any spirits volume recovery, with weak industry data posing ongoing risks, Jefferies said.The equity research firm maintained a hold rating on Orora with an unchanged price target of AU$1.32, saying it prefers "other industrials with clearer volume and earnings inflection."

Orora Earnings Under Pressure From Weak Spirits Market, Says Jefferies

Orora (ASX:ORA) is facing tough conditions in the spirits market with persistent cyclical pressures and structural uncertainty weighing on its French business, Saverglass, Jefferies said in a note on Thursday.The investment firm cut its EPS forecast for fiscal 2027 and 2028 by 9% and 16%, respectively, citing weaker pricing due to de-premiumization and softer volumes in North America amid continued weakness in demand for spirits.Jefferies does not expect the pricing pressure and negative mix impacts to stabilize until the second half of fiscal 2027. It also expects Saverglass revenue to decline by 4% in 2027.The glass maker is also reeling with residual cash impacts in light of the Middle East conflict, as its Ras Al Khaimah facility remains offline. While hedges against energy prices are set to roll off in the second half of 2027, which could lead to higher costs."We see better value elsewhere," analysts at Jefferies said.The brokerage maintained a hold rating and lowered its price target to AU$1.34 from AU$1.69.
