BALL Historical PE Ratio Notes

— Ball Corporation (ticker: BALL) is a leading global supplier of sustainable aluminum packaging products, primarily serving the beverage, personal care, and household product industries. The company operates through various segments, with its largest revenue coming from manufacturing aluminum cans and bottles for major brands worldwide. Historically, Ball’s core business in the packaging sector has offered a measure of stability, as demand for food – and particularly beverage – containers tends to be less cyclical than other industrial goods. However, Ball has also undergone strategic shifts, including divestitures (like its aerospace segment in 2023), which can significantly affect reported earnings and, thus, the PE ratio you’ll see on historical charts. Factors such as commodity price swings (notably aluminum), supply chain dynamics, and consumer trends favoring sustainability can also cause fluctuations in the company’s profitability and investor sentiment over time, which impacts how the market values Ball’s earnings. When reviewing historical PE ratios for Ball, keep in mind that periods of strategic transition or atypical profit/loss realizations (such as those from acquisitions or divestitures) may cause spikes or dips in the PE ratio that do not necessarily reflect the underlying, ongoing earnings power or business stability of the firm.

On this page we presented the Ball Historical PE Ratio information for Ball' stock. The average BALL historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 27.5. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average BALL historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 28.8.

Let's now compare this BALL historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 7/6/2026, the most recent closing price for BALL had been 62.95, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 3.76. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 3.77. From these numbers, we calculate the recent BALL PE on 7/6/2026 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 16.7. Based on BALL's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 39.3% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Ball. Looking at the recent BALL PE on 7/6/2026 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 16.7. Based on BALL's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 42.0% lower than the average PE across our Ball data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting BALL historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for BALL, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for BALL, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.90, 0.91, 0.94, and 1.02. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.91 and 0.94 — which gives us the median of 0.93. Basically the way to think about this 0.93 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.93 marks the "middle ground" number where BALL has reported a value higher than 0.93 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.93 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 3.72/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 62.95 as the numerator (as of 7/6/2026), the calculation is then 62.95 / 3.72 = 16.9 as the BALL PE ratio as of 7/6/2026, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
