Graphic Packaging Posts Q2 Profit Drop
Graphic Packaging (NYSE:GPK), a leading producer of sustainable consumer packaging for food, beverage, and other markets, released its second quarter results on July 29, 2025. The most notable news was that both GAAP revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share beat Wall Street expectations. GAAP revenue reached $2,204 million versus an expected $2,161.5 million, and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.42, surpassing the $0.40 estimate. Despite these modest beats, both profits and margins dropped steeply from a year ago due to cost inflation and weaker pricing. Management described the quarter as “modestly better than expected” in terms of volume, but near-term financial metrics revealed pressures. The quarter’s headline results reflected a business navigating ongoing end-market and cost headwinds, though management maintained its full-year financial guidance for fiscal 2025.
