Ardagh Metal Packaging adds UK and Spain can lines, raises 2026 EBITDA guidance

Ardagh Metal Packaging is accelerating and enlarging its European growth investment plan by building two new beverage can lines at existing plants in the UK and Spain, citing resilient demand after European shipments rose 6% in the third quarter. Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of USD 213m beat the USD 200-210m guidance range, and the company raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to USD 785-795m. It kept its regular quarterly dividend of USD 0.10 per ordinary share.
