Pro Investor Academy research

Research data through Oct 28, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

41

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 41 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

—

Not currently available

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

59

of 100 · stored research reading

What this company does

Graphic Packaging Holding Company ("GPHC" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is committed to creating consumer packaging that makes a world of difference. The Company is a leading producer of consumer goods packaging made from renewable or recycled materials. The Company designs and manufactures sustainable packaging solutions including cartons, multipack cartons, trays, carriers, paperboard canisters, as well as cups and bowls made primarily from recycled paperboard, unbleached paperboard and bleached paperboard.

The Company serves a wide variety of consumer markets, from food and beverage, to foodservice, household products, beauty and health care. The Company produces packaging solutions at over 100 locations in 20 countries around the world, serving customers ranging from local to multinational consumer products companies and retailers. The Company offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of packaging design, manufacturing and execution capabilities available. The Company currently manufactures most of the paperboard it consumes in the Americas and purchases the majority of the paperboard it consumes in its International Paperboard Packaging operations from third parties.

Graphic Packaging works closely with its customers to understand their needs and goals and to create new and innovative designs customized to their specific needs. The Company's approach serves to build and strengthen long-term relationships with purchasing, brand management, marketing and other key customer functions. The Company is organized to bring the full resources of its global and local innovation, design and manufacturing capabilities to all of its customers with the goal of delivering packaging solutions that are more circular, more functional and more convenient.

In May 2025, the Company closed its Middletown, Ohio, recycled paperboard manufacturing facility. For more information, see Note 18. Exit Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
