Orora's Challenges May Extend Beyond Any Middle East Conflict Resolution -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 13

2350 GMT - Morgans cuts its underlying Ebit forecasts for packaging company Orora by 8%-11% across FY26-FY28 following a trading update that highlighted new challenges for its Saverglass business. Orora reset its Ebit forecast for Saverglass to 63 million-68 million euros, citing impacts including disruption at its Ras Al Khaimah facility in the UAE due to the Iran conflict. That represented an 18% downgrade at the midpoint and the third downgrade since Orora acquired the business in 2023. Alexander Lu views Orora as a relatively defensive business. "However, global consumer demand has weakened following the onset of the Middle East conflict and may remain subdued for some time, even in the event of a near-term resolution," Lu says. "Given this uncertainty, we maintain a hold rating as we await further updates." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
