Press Release Summary: SADIF-Investment Analytics SA has applied its StockMarks(tm) stock-rating system to Amcor Limited and produced a research report, rating the company's attractiveness to long-term investors.
Press Release Body: Mira, Portugal - October 15, 2008 - SADIF Investment Analytics SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering Amcor Limited (ASX:AMC). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks(tm) stock rating system and is required reading for any current or potential Amcor Limited investor.
Report Summary: Australian packaging company Amcor is the world's largest manufacturer of plastic bottles. The company also produces a number of other packaging materials such as food containers, cardboard boxes and tobacco product packaging. The bulk of the company's revenues come from the relatively non-cyclical food and beverage packaging industry. However, this has not completely shielded Amcor from the effects of the global economic crisis. In August, the company reported full year results for FY2007/08. The report revealed a seven percent decline in profit due to factors such as rising energy costs. Revenue from continuing operations fell almost five percent compared to FY 2006/07. Revenue from external customers weakened in all geographical segments excluding Latin America. Amcor hopes that newly-opened packaging plants will boost this year's revenues. However, the company's restructuring over recent years has yet to payoff for shareholders. While Amcor shares have fallen this year along with the Australian market, the stock was stagnant before the crisis hit. Now, with demand appearing to weaken, investors should continually evaluate their position in the company. In order to remain objective, we can look at the company's long-term underlying fundamentals in order to gain an impression of how the stock will perform in the long run. We can assess the company''s long-term outlook through the use of the StockMarks framework. Amcor currently has an overall long-term investment-attractiveness rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 32, placing below the market average. This rating ranks the company sixth when compared to ten of its closest peers, selected on the basis of similarity of business and market positioning factors such as size.
The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components - Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of Amcor Limited for long-term investors.
