Crown Holdings backs FY26 adjusted EPS view $7.90-$8.30, consensus $8.07

“With demand remaining firm across our global beverage businesses and considering our first quarter performance, the company reaffirms its full year 2026 guidance of adjusted diluted earnings per share between $7.90 and $8.30, while recognizing the impact that volatility across aluminum, energy and transportation markets may have on input costs and consumer spending. Second quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2.10 to $2.20. The company expects to generate approximately $900 million in adjusted free cash flow in 2026 after capital spending of approximately $550 million, which includes initial spending related to the recently announced beverage can plant in India,” commented KevinClothier, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
