Law Firm Probes O-I Glass Over 2026/27 Targets After $972M Q2 Loss
OI is trading near its 52-week low of $7.005 (3.5% above the low).
Summary
O-I Glass faces a law firm investigation into its 2026 guidance and 2027 targets, adding legal risk to last week's disastrous Q2 report. The company posted a $972M net loss driven by an $873M goodwill write-down, missed adjusted EPS, and slashed full-year EBITDA guidance. UBS and Truist cut price targets to $11 and $10 respectively, though both maintained Buy ratings. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $7.01, reflecting deep skepticism about the turnaround. The probe, announced July 31, targets potential misrepresentations in forward-looking statements—a serious overhang as management tries to restore credibility.
