Crown and Ardagh ride beverage demand in Q2

North American beverage can demand remained resilient during the second quarter, despite spikes in raw material prices in the form of aluminum and a bevy of tariffs implemented during the period bookended by April and June.

Despite growing signs of demand normalizing and steadying a bit, Crown Holdings and Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) delivered solid Q2’25 earnings their North American beverage can operations, largely buoyed by positive end consumer demand growth.
