Description: BALL Ball January 02, 2026
Ball Corporation (NYSE: BALL) is a global supplier of aluminum packaging, serving beverage, personal-care, and household-product manufacturers across the United States, Brazil, and other markets. Its product line includes carbonated-drink cans, beer cans, energy-drink cans, extruded aerosol containers, resealable bottles, cups, and aluminum slugs. Founded in 1880, the company is headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, and operates within the GICS sub-industry “Metal, Glass & Plastic Containers.”
Key metrics (FY 2024): revenue ≈ $15.8 bn, adjusted EBITDA margin ≈ 14%, and free cash flow conversion ≈ 75%. The business is highly sensitive to aluminum commodity prices and benefits from the “circular economy” trend-U.S. recycling rates for aluminum cans have risen to ~53%, supporting cost-efficiency and ESG positioning. Demand drivers include steady growth in carbonated-soft-drink volumes (+2% YoY) and a robust rebound in beer consumption in Brazil (+5% YoY), both of which boost container sales.
