AptarGroup, Inc. (ATR) has seen its shares decline over 20% in 2025, underperforming broader market indexes as the company faces significant challenges within the Zacks Containers-Paper and Packaging Industry, which ranks in the bottom 7% of over 240 Zacks industries. The firm is not only contending with legal expenses related to intellectual property litigation but also experiencing weak demand in the consumer healthcare segment.
Recent EPS estimates for fiscal 2025 and FY26 have fallen by 2% and 7%, respectively, signaling a downturn in investor confidence. Currently, ATR trades at $100 per share, which is notable considering its forward P/E ratio of 21X, well above the industry average of 14X, raising concerns about the stock’s valuation amid ongoing industry headwinds.
