Amcor's Margins Squeezed by Rising Raw-Material Costs Amid Middle East Conflict

Amcor's margins are likely to be squeezed due to a rise in raw-material costs following attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure. Jefferies highlights a 15%-30% increase in resin prices compared to pre-conflict levels. Resins account for around half of Amcor's costs. The packaging company's margins are expected to be impacted by the disruption in raw-material supplies.
