Amcor Completes Reverse Stock Split
In a significant move aimed at optimizing its share structure, Amcor plc, a leader in responsible packaging solutions, has successfully completed its one-for-five reverse stock split. This decision was made following approval from shareholders during the annual general meeting held on November 6, 2025. The execution of this reverse stock split was filed on January 14, 2026, and took effect in the trading market the following day.
What Is a Reverse Stock Split?
A reverse stock split is a corporate action in which a company reduces the number of its outstanding shares while increasing the share value proportionally. In this case, every five shares of Amcor have been consolidated into one new share. This strategic decision often reflects the company's recognition of maintaining a more manageable stock price while enhancing its market perception and accessibility for investors.
Implementation and Trading Adjustment
As of January 15, 2026, Amcor's ordinary shares have commenced trading on a split-adjusted basis under their existing ticker symbol "AMCR" on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). A new CUSIP number (G0250X 149) has been assigned to represent the restructured shares. Additionally, the CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs), which are traded under the symbol "AMC," will also reflect this reverse stock split adjustment.
The execution of this stock split aims not only to increase the share value but also to attract a broader range of investors by avoiding share price depreciation that often stigmatizes companies with low stock prices. As part of this transition, Computershare will act as the exchange agent for shareholders looking to understand the implications of the reverse stock split.
