Ball Corp has transformed into a pure-play packaging company after selling its aerospace division to BAE Systems, a move that significantly changes its investment profile and financial outlook. This strategic pivot means the company’s performance is now tightly linked to consumer beverage demand, aluminum costs, and sustainability trends rather than defense budgets. Investors should monitor how Ball manages its strengthened balance sheet, capital allocation, and ability to execute on cost controls and pricing power within the packaging sector.
