Crown Holdings, Inc. reported a solid start to 2026, supported by higher beverage can shipments and improved adjusted earnings, despite a slight decline in net income. Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, rose to USD 3.26 billion, compared to USD 2.89 billion in the same period last year. The increase was driven by a 5 per cent rise in global beverage can shipments, along with the pass-through of higher input costs and favourable foreign exchange movements. Adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 11 per cent to USD 1.86, up from USD 1.67 a year earlier. However, reported diluted earnings per share declined slightly to USD 1.56 from USD 1.65, while net income attributable to the company fell to USD 175 million from USD 193 million.
