In other recent news, Ardagh Metal Packaging (NYSE:) SA (AMP (OTC:)) has witnessed several key developments. BofA Securities downgraded the company’s stock from Buy to Underperform, primarily citing client-specific trends in Brazil and currency risks as contributing factors. This reduction reflects a preference for competing beverage can makers and other packaging companies that BofA Securities rates more favorably.
Despite these challenges, AMP reported a strong third quarter of 2024, with a 2% increase in global beverage shipments and a 15% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA. As a result, the company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to between $650 million and $660 million.

Furthermore, the company announced a quarterly dividend and projected a liquidity position of approximately $1 billion by the end of the year.
