12:50 PM EST, 11/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We keep our 12-month target at $128 on an EV/EBITDA of 9.2x our 2026 EBITDA estimate, below its five-year average of 9.5x. We keep our 2025 EPS view at $7.97 but raise our 2026 EPS by $0.03 to $8.51 and 2027 EPS by $0.07 to $9.32. We upgrade to Strong Buy, as we expect CCK to outperform the broader market in an economic downturn given its defensive profile. We expect strong secular growth as the shift from glass to aluminum containers accelerates, particularly in Europe, evidenced by Q3 European volume growth of 12%, though long-term growth rates are expected in the 4%-5% range. ROIC of 7.9% in the last-12-month period is the highest among sub-industry peers, averaging 4.0% and well above Ball Corp. (3.5%) and O-I Glass (-2.2%). Deleveraging is progressing ahead of schedule, and strong cash generation has enabled its tender offer for 2026 debt maturities, which will reduce ongoing interest payments and WACC. Valuation is compelling, at a 17% discount to its five-year average.
