Frequently asked questions
What is Ball Corporation's revenue?

How profitable is BALL?
In its most recent fiscal year, BALL ran a gross margin of 14.86%, an operating margin of 10.56%, and a net margin of 6.93%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does BALL generate?
BALL produced $788.00M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
