OI
O-I Glass, Inc. (OI) Business Model Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Revenue Quality
Low EV/Sales of 0.90x suggests the market is pricing in modest growth expectations.
Gross margin of 14.8% remains thin, limiting pricing power and business-model quality.
Revenue per share of 41.55 and asset turnover of 0.79x indicate acceptable but not exceptional monetization of the asset base.
Profitability
Operating margin of 8.0% and EBITDA margin of 11.8% show the core business is profitable at the operating level.
Net margin of -18.1% remains negative, indicating below-the-line costs and/or financing burden are still weighing on earnings.
Return on equity of -107.8% and return on assets of -14.3% remain weak despite positive operating returns.
Cash Generation
Operating cash flow is positive, with OCF per share of 2.72 and OCF sales ratio of 6.5%.
Free cash flow remains negative at -0.09 per share, reflecting capex that is roughly equal to operating cash flow.
FCF yield of -1.3% and EV/FCF of -407.9x indicate cash conversion is still poor on a trailing basis.
Balance Sheet
Current ratio of 1.26x and quick ratio of 0.77x suggest liquidity is adequate but not strong.
Leverage remains elevated, with debt-to-equity of 13.0x and net debt/EBITDA of 6.19x.
Interest coverage of 1.48x indicates limited cushion if operating performance softens.
Capital Efficiency
ROIC of 8.0% and ROCE of 8.2% indicate the business is generating returns above a minimal hurdle, but not strongly.
Working capital turnover of 12.8x and cash conversion cycle of 41.0 days show reasonable operating efficiency.
Capex-to-depreciation of 0.87x suggests capital spending is broadly in line with asset replacement needs.
