O-I Glass Posts $6.33 Q2 Loss Per Share, Deepening Red Ink
OI is trading near its 52-week low of $7.75 (4.3% above the low).
Summary
O-I Glass reported a Q2 loss of $6.33 per share, a massive miss that dwarfs the already weak Q1 results. The company had previously signaled softer Q2 volumes, but this loss is far worse than expected. With the stock already near its 52-week low, this print raises serious questions about the full-year guidance reaffirmed in June. The $500 million debt offering completed in May provided liquidity, but the cash burn appears to be accelerating. Management's credibility is now on the line heading into the Q2 earnings call. O-I Glass cut 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $1.0–$1.1 billion from $1.125–$1.225 billion and now expects free cash flow of -$50 to -$150 million. It also realigned 2027 adjusted EBITDA target to $1.2–$1.3 billion from $1.45 billion.
