2247 GMT [Dow Jones]--Jefferies had expected soft conditions in glass manufacturing, with data pointing to weak demand for spirits. But the magnitude of deterioration in Orora's Saverglass division caught Jefferies by surprise. Orora reset its Ebit forecast for Saverglass to 63 million-68 million euros. That represented an 18% downgrade at the midpoint of the range, and marks the third downgrade since Orora acquired the business in 2023. "We cut EPS 14% in FY26, but more than 20% in FY27-28 reflecting annualization of 2H26 trends into next year and removal of buybacks from estimates," analyst Ramoun Lazar says. Data still look weak and the consumer is under pressure due to the Middle East conflict. "We see ongoing risks to near-term earnings and a stock lacking catalysts," says Jefferies.
