Crown Holdings stock gains 2.23 percent as targets rise

Crown Holdings stock (ISIN US2283681060) closed at USD 108.06 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, gaining 2.23 percent from the prior session. The move came as analysts continued to assess stronger second-quarter results and a more constructive valuation view.

JPMorgan lifts its target

According to Investing.com on September 18, 2026, JPMorgan upgraded Crown Holdings from Neutral to Overweight and set a USD 121.00 price target. The target stood USD 12.94 above the September 25 price, or 11.97 percent higher.

The valuation case rests partly on operating volume. JPMorgan expects Crown's beverage can volumes to increase 4.00 percent to 4.50 percent in 2026, while the company also benefits from higher demand in Asia Pacific, according to Investing.com.

Second-quarter figures set the benchmark

According to MarketBeat, Crown reported second-quarter 2026 EPS of USD 2.49 on July 20, 2026, exceeding the USD 2.16 consensus by USD 0.33. Revenue reached USD 3.67 billion, up 16.50 percent from the year-earlier quarter and above the USD 3.37 billion consensus.

The company guided to third-quarter 2026 EPS of USD 2.20 to USD 2.30 and full-year 2026 EPS of USD 8.30 to USD 8.50, according to MarketBeat. The guidance gives the October report a clear test: volume growth must translate into earnings within the stated range.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Crown's September 25 price was USD 14.85, or 12.08 percent, below its 52-week high of USD 122.91 and USD 18.85 above its 52-week low of USD 89.21. Trading volume reached 1,160,052 shares, while market capitalization stood at USD 11.8 billion on that session.
