The consensus price target for O-I Glass has shown a positive trend over the past year. Last month, the average price target was $21, up from $19.5 last quarter and $16.22 last year. This upward trend suggests growing confidence in the company's market position and potential, as highlighted by the increase in the consensus price target.
Despite the positive trend in the consensus price target, analyst Michael Leithead from Barclays has set a lower price target of $15 for O-I Glass.

However, the company is anticipated to surpass earnings estimates in its upcoming quarterly report, which could influence future price targets.
O-I Glass recently reported quarterly earnings of $0.40 per share, significantly exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.18 per share. This strong performance, despite being slightly lower than the $0.45 per share reported in the same quarter last year, suggests that the company is on a solid financial footing. The stock has also experienced a 3.2% increase in its price since the last earnings report, indicating positive market sentiment.
The company's upcoming second-quarter earnings report and conference call, scheduled for July 30, 2025, will be closely watched by investors. As highlighted by Zacks, O-I Glass is currently under the spotlight for value investors, with a focus on earnings estimates and revisions.
