O-I Glass Stock Falls Over 16% After Disappointing Q2 Earnings Report
Shares of O-I Glass (OI) fell more than 17% following a disappointing second-quarter earnings report. The glass container manufacturer reported revenue of $1.67 billion, below the expected $1.69 billion, and adjusted earnings per share dropped from $0.53 to just $0.09—well under analysts' expectations. The company cited operational challenges in Europe as a key factor behind its weak performance, including competitive pricing pressure, high energy costs, and temporary disruptions due to restructuring efforts. Operating profit in the region was only $6 million compared to a 22% increase in operating profit for the Americas segment to $165 million. O-I Glass also announced an $873 million goodwill impairment charge related to its European operations and cut full-year guidance, now expecting adjusted EBITDA of $1 billion–$1.1 billion versus earlier projections of $1.125 billion–$1.225 billion.
