Buy or Sell Amcor Stock Ahead of Earnings?
Amcor (NYSE:AMCR), the global packaging firm, is scheduled to announce its earnings on Thursday, August 14, 2025. The company has a current market capitalization of $22 billion. Over the last twelve months, it generated $13 billion in revenue and was operationally profitable, with $1.4 billion in operating profits and net income of $807 million. While much will rely on how the results compare to consensus expectations, gaining insight from historical trends may give event-driven traders an advantage. There are two strategies to achieve this: familiarize yourself with the historical probabilities and prepare in advance of the earnings announcement, or analyze the link between immediate and medium-term returns following earnings and adjust your position accordingly after the earnings have been disclosed. If you are looking for potential gains with less volatility than that of individual stocks, Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative—having outperformed the S&P 500 and produced returns exceeding 91% since its inception. See earnings reaction history of all stocks Amcor's Historical Odds Of Positive Post-Earnings Return Here are some insights on one-day (1D) returns post-earnings: Further information regarding observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns subsequent to earnings is summarized along with the relevant statistics in the table below. Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively lower-risk approach (though not effective if the correlation is weak) is to assess the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identify a pair with the strongest correlation, and initiate the appropriate trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the highest correlation, a trader can position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on a 5-year and a more recent 3-year history. Keep in mind that the correlation 1D_5D pertains to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. Find out more about Trefis RV strategy that has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (composed of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000) to deliver significant returns for investors. Additionally, if you're looking for potential gains with a smoother experience than an individual stock like Amcor, contemplate the High Quality portfolio, which has surpassed the S&P and achieved >91% returns since its inception.

Is Figma the Next Hot Tech Stock to Own?
Key Points Figma gives consumers low-cost alternatives to Adobe's high-priced software. The company generated impressive growth of nearly 50% last year. Its profits are minimal, however, and investors are paying a big premium for the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Figma › Figma (NYSE: FIG) went public last month, and many investors were eager to buy it right away. The company provides software for design and website creation. It's ideal for collaborating on projects. Back in 2022, Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) announced plans to acquire Figma for $20 billion, as it saw the business as a big part of its long-term growth. Regulatory hurdles, however, led to the deal being abandoned. Now, anyone can invest in Figma. And after the first few days of trading, the stock looked to be in high demand, hitting a high of just under $143 on Aug. 1 after opening at $85 the previous day. But since then, the stock has been sliding, as investors appear to be growing worried about its rapidly rising valuation. Are the concerns about Figma's valuation justified, or is the market simply taking a breather from a hot start? Here are the bullish and bearish cases for investing in Figma today. The bullish case for investing in Figma One of the attractive features of Figma is that it offers relatively affordable plans. For professionals, plans that feature Figma's full suite of design products cost just $16 per month. With Adobe, just a subscription to Photoshop alone costs $23 per month. And for the full suite of Creative Cloud products, users can pay as much as $70 per month. Figma may be appealing to users who don't need the advanced capabilities that come with Photoshop and other Adobe products. At a time when consumers are looking to cut costs, Figma's products can be attractive alternatives, especially since they make collaboration easy. Figma's business was enticing enough for Adobe to pursue it, but regulators in Europe saw the companies as potential competitors in the future, which is ultimately why the acquisition fell through. The proof of Figma's popularity is evident in its strong growth. Last year, the company's revenue totaled $749 million, which was an increase of 48% year over year. And through the first three months of 2025, its sales totaled $228 million, representing a 46% increase. The company currently has a net dollar retention rate of 132%, which means consumers are spending more with the business now than they did in the previous year. And a staggering 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Figma, with two-thirds of its users being non-designers, highlighting just how easy its software is to use. The bearish cash for avoiding Figma Figma's business is promising, but it also comes with risks. A big one is a lack of profitability. In each of the past two years, the company has reported an operating loss. And while this year, it has been doing well, through the first three months, its earnings per share (EPS) totaled just $0.04. That would translate into an annualized EPS of $0.16 -- putting it at a price-to-earnings multiple of close to 500, given a share price of around $80. Even with respect to sales, the stock is expensive, trading at a price-to-revenue multiple of around 50. While the company has high gross margins, its operating expenses are also high. In the most recent quarter, they accounted for approximately three-quarters of Figma's top line. Without lower overhead and operating costs, it's going to be difficult for the company to generate much earnings growth. When investors are paying such high multiples for a business, they are effectively paying a premium for future growth. The problem is that artificial intelligence is enhancing many design tools and, thus, can give users many more alternatives. Such alternatives may even be more advanced than Figma's. That can make it challenging for the company to continue to grow at a rate fast enough to justify its high valuation. Amid slowing growth, the stock's valuation could drop drastically. Should you buy Figma stock today? Figma may seem like the shiny new tech stock to own right now, but I wouldn't rush out to buy it. There's growing competition in the design space, and for users looking to cut costs, there are plenty of free options to consider (I've been a Gimp user for years), which is why I'm not sold on Figma's long-term growth potential. It's doing well right now, but that's while its numbers still aren't all that big. Unless Figma's stock comes down significantly in price, I would steer clear of it. Should you invest $1,000 in Figma right now?

Moving forward, the Company expects to remain steadfast in its commitment to executing its business transition and simultaneously maintaining prudent cash management to safeguard its balance sheet. Second Quarter Financial Results Sales income and others decreased by 93.5% to RMB3.5 million (US$0.5 million) from RMB53.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to the decrease in sales income generated from last-mile delivery business as a result of the increased competition in the industry.

Cost of revenues decreased by 93.6% to RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million) from RMB46.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in service cost related to last-mile delivery business with the winding down of the business. General and administrative expenses increased by 39.6% to RMB65.9 million (US$9.2 million) from RMB47.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the increase in depreciation and property tax expenses following the completion of the construction of the Company's headquarters. Research and development expenses decreased by 25.5% to RMB11.3 million (US$1.6 million) from RMB15.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, as a result of the decrease in staff head count, which led to a corresponding decrease in staff salaries. Loss from operations was RMB113.9 million (US$15.9 million), compared to RMB57.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to the winding down of the Company's businesses and the increase in depreciation and property tax expenses following the completion of the construction of the Company's headquarters. Interest and investment income, net increased by 392.3% to RMB440.5 million (US$61.5 million) from RMB89.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, mainly attributable to the increase of income from investments in the second quarter of 2025. Gain on derivative instrument was RMB30.2 million (US$4.2 million), compared to RMB58.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The gain was mainly attributable to the increase in quoted price of the underlying equity securities relating to the derivative instruments we held.
