The Bemis merger synergy target has also been raised to around $200m with the final benefits to be delivered in FY22. With free cash flow growth of up to 9% the company has capacity to fund $700m in dividends as well as the $400m share buyback program that was announced.
UBS finds the valuation attractive and retains a Buy rating. Target is raised to $18.93 from $17.40.
