what happened
Crown Holdings reported third-quarter 2026 results: diluted earnings per share came in at $2.08, against $1.85 a year earlier, while adjusted diluted EPS reached $2.39, 7% above the 2025 level. The figures come from a release distributed via PR Newswire and published by TradingView.
Net sales rose to $3,711 million from $3,202 million. Global beverage can shipments grew by more than 6%, and the company passed $405 million of higher material costs through to customers.
For full-year 2026, Crown expects adjusted diluted EPS of $8.35 to $8.45 and adjusted free cash flow of at least $950 million. Its fourth-quarter adjusted EPS outlook is $1.63 to $1.73. During the quarter the company bought back $81 million of stock, and its net leverage ratio stood at 2.5 times adjusted EBITDA.
why it matters
Two points matter for markets: demand for beverage cans remains firm, and the company has been able to pass a large share of rising input costs to customers. Segment income was nearly flat at $484 million versus $490 million a year earlier, as cost inflation offset the benefit of higher volumes.
