Packaging & Containers, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 19 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Packaging & Containers outperforming S&P 500?

Packaging & Containers has outperformed S&P 500 by 27.2% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 9%. 11 of 19 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Myers Industries, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +51.3%.

The central tension: current leadership is concentrated, so durability matters more than rank.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Packaging & Containers has outperformed S&P 500 by 27.2% over 52 weeks and 9% over 13 weeks. 11 of 19 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 8 of 19 beat the sector itself. Amcor plc leads with revenue of $22,190 million, based on 5 of 19 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Myers Industries, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 51.8% evidence confidence.
Amcor plc looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Crown Holdings, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Myers Industries, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Packaging & Containers at +131.3%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +54.1%. 11 of 19 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Amcor plc has the highest Revenue among the 19 Packaging & Containers companies compared here, at $22,190 million. Ball Corporation is next at $13,667 million. The same company also holds the highest Revenue growth, at 64.8%. 5 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026. Its Revenue series carries 19 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Amcor plc is the scale leader at $22,190 million, 62.4% ahead of Ball Corporation. Amcor plc's growth is 64.8% from a $22,190 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderAmcor plc · $22,190 million
Gap62.4% versus #2 · Ball Corporation
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage5/19 companies · 349 observations

Investor read: Amcor plc is the scale benchmark; Amcor plc is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Amcor plc's growth falls below Amcor plc's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

LeaderBall Corporation · $939 million
Gap38.5% versus #2 · Amcor plc
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage5/19 companies · 349 observations

Investor read: Ball Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

Packaging Corporation of America has the highest ROCE among the 19 Packaging & Containers companies compared here, at 7.2%. Avery Dennison Corporation is next at 5.4%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +2.9 percentage points. 19 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Packaging Corporation of America leads ROCE at 7.2%, 1.8 percentage points above Avery Dennison Corporation. Packaging Corporation of America has the strongest latest improvement at +2.9 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderPackaging Corporation of America · 7.2%
Gap33.3% versus #2 · Avery Dennison Corporation
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage19/19 companies · 362 observations

Investor read: Packaging Corporation of America sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Ball Corporation has the lowest PEG among the 19 Packaging & Containers companies compared here, at 0.49×. Amcor plc is next at 0.72×. TriMas Corporation has the lowest P/E at 1.87×, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 19 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Ball Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.49×, 31.9% below Amcor plc. Only 4 of 19 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Packaging & Containers comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 19 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 19 Packaging & Containers companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Packaging & Containers company comparison FAQs

These 22 answers restate the Packaging & Containers comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 19 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Packaging & Containers sector outperforming S&P 500?

Packaging & Containers has outperformed S&P 500 by 27.2% over 52 weeks and 9% over 13 weeks. 11 of 19 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 8 of 19 beat the sector itself.

Which Packaging & Containers company is largest by revenue?

Amcor plc leads with revenue of $22,190 million, based on 5 of 19 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

Which Packaging & Containers company is growing fastest?

Amcor plc has the fastest current revenue growth at 64.8%, across 5 of 19 comparable companies.

Which Packaging & Containers company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Myers Industries, Inc. ranks first at 64.7/100 with 51.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Packaging & Containers company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Ball Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.49, among 4 of 19 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Packaging & Containers comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Packaging & Containers company is the biggest?

Amcor plc is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $22,190 million, ahead of Ball Corporation at $13,667 million. That covers 5 of 19 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Packaging & Containers company has the best profit margins?

Myers Industries, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 15.1%, from 19 of 19 comparable companies. TriMas Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6.3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Packaging & Containers company makes the most profit?

Ball Corporation earns the most, at $939 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 5 of 19 comparable companies. Ball Corporation has the fastest profit growth at 76.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Packaging & Containers company earns the highest return on capital?

Packaging Corporation of America leads on return on capital employed at 7.2%, across 19 of 19 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Packaging & Containers stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Ball Corporation screens cheapest at 0.49×. Only 4 of 19 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Is the Packaging & Containers sector beating the market?

Packaging & Containers has outperformed S&P 500 by 27.2% over the last 52 weeks and 9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 11 of 19 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Packaging & Containers stock has the strongest price momentum?

Myers Industries, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Packaging & Containers company scores highest for research priority?

Myers Industries, Inc. scores 64.7 out of 100 with 51.8% evidence confidence, from 23.2 points on growth and earnings, 15.4 on capital efficiency, 9.1 on valuation and 17 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Packaging & Containers companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 19 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Packaging & Containers sector?

The 19 Packaging & Containers companies on this page carry $168,472 million of combined market value. Smurfit Westrock Plc is the largest at $25,416 million, about 15% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.

What is the Packaging & Containers sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 19 Packaging & Containers companies on this page is 17.8×, measured on the 17 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.

How is the Packaging & Containers sector performing?

11 of the 19 covered Packaging & Containers companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 27.2% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.

How many Packaging & Containers stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 19 listed Packaging & Containers companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
