What the filing says
Graphic Packaging reported Q3 2026 net sales of $2,192M (flat vs. $2,190M in Q3 2025) with 1% volume growth offset by 1% price decline. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $289M from $383M YoY, with margin contracting to 13.2% from 17.5%, driven by $83M commodity/operating cost inflation and $15M unfavorable price impact. Net debt rose to $5,183M and leverage ratio increased to 4.8x from 3.8x at year-end 2025. Full-year 2026 guidance reaffirmed: $8.6B sales, $1.05B Adjusted EBITDA, $0.65 Adjusted EPS; Adjusted Cash Flow guidance $600–$700M.
Why this rating
Margin compression, rising leverage (4.8x), and cost pressures offset operational progress; material headwinds but guidance reaffirmed, suggesting management confidence in recovery trajectory.
