Amcor plc (NYSE:AMCR) isn't a flashy business. Most people probably don't know much about the company, even though they come across its products every day. The company makes the packaging used for food, drinks, healthcare products, beauty products, and plenty of other everyday items.
That gives the company an interesting quality from an investment perspective. Consumers may cut back on certain purchases when the economy gets tougher, but they still need to buy food, medicine, and other basic products. About 60% of Amcor's markets are tied to nutrition, while health, beauty, and wellness make up another 25%. Billionaires are gravitating towards another packaging company, and that has also returned nearly 20% in the past year. Find here.
The company's size is another advantage. Amcor operates across a large global manufacturing network and has relationships with major customers that have been built over many years. It also offers a wide range of packaging formats and materials. For a large multinational customer, being able to deal with one supplier across multiple markets can be a meaningful advantage. The Berry Global acquisition has made Amcor even larger, although it also brought more debt onto the balance sheet.
Amcor plc (NYSE:AMCR) pays $0.65 per share every quarter, giving investors an annual dividend of $2.60. At the October 7 closing price of $41.26, that works out to a yield of about 6.3%. That's a big yield for a company selling products that are tied to everyday consumption. However, a high yield doesn't automatically make a dividend attractive. What matters is whether the business can actually afford to keep paying it. Amcor's latest numbers offer some comfort. Its steady dividend growth is one reason the stock remains popular with income-focused investors.
The company generated $1.303 billion in free cash flow during fiscal 2026, while adjusted diluted EPS came in at $4.02, up 13% from the previous year. Amcor also increased its annual dividend to $2.60. On an adjusted earnings basis, the payout ratio is around 65%. That's not unusual for a mature company and doesn't immediately raise a red flag.

Retirement isn't supposed to be a financial obstacle course. But for many retirees, it becomes one — not because they didn't save enough, but because they're avoiding the very decisions that could protect what they've already built. Small postponements and wishful thinking can quietly spiral into serious money problems.
Financial advisors see it happen again and again: retirees who put off critical decisions until the damage is done. Here are five avoidance moves that consistently undermine retirement security.
Without a realistic retirement plan, it's easy to spend more than your savings can actually support.
"What makes this especially difficult is that the conversation goes beyond just the numbers," explained Linda Grizely, financial wellness and behavioral finance speaker. "It can feel like a judgment about lifestyle, independence and past financial choices."
Most retirees keep doing what feels comfortable and hope it works out. Instead, Grizely recommended mapping your cash flow, spending, income, investments, taxes and account withdrawal strategy. Revisit this at least annually and whenever spending, markets, taxes, health or life circumstances shift.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner, Ken Urker, has died at the age of 34, a Louisiana sheriff said.
An investigation into his death is underway. Capt. Brennan Matherne of the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office told CBS News that there are no signs of foul play. TMZ was first to report the news.
According to police records, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's half-brother and his wife, Dylan and Anita Blanchard, went to Urker's home and attempted to gain access to it. After failing to do so, Anita called the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office and requested a wellness check. She said that Urker was in a "dark place," owned a gun and had threatened suicide, according to the records. Officers were dispatched to the home around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday.
Anita told police that Dylan had knocked at the home's door for an hour with no response. Police said Dylan and another person, Justin Daigle, were eventually able to enter the home through an unlocked bedroom window. Daigle said that he touched Urker's body and realized he was cold and not breathing.
When police arrived on the scene, they found Urker dead in his bed. He "appeared to have been there for an extended period of time," police noted, with the report mentioning his face and arms had turned blue.

Walmart and SCAN Health Plan announced a partnership on Wednesday to offer co-branded Medicare Advantage plans in two states, targeting a pool of more than two million Medicare enrollees.
The plans, pending regulatory approval, may include pharmacy, vision, food, and over-the-counter benefits, the companies said. Open enrollment for Medicare Advantage begins Oct. 15, according to MarketWatch.
A central feature of the partnership is Walmart's Everyday Health Signals platform, an AI tool designed to provide personalized nutrition and wellness guidance based on members' shopping preferences and self-reported wellness goals. The companies said they plan to make that capability available to participating plan members as part of broader coaching and wellness support.
"By combining Walmart's technology capabilities and consumer retail expertise with SCAN's Medicare product experience, we have an opportunity to develop products that translate those insights into meaningful support that helps members make more informed choices about their health and well-being," said Zack Myers, national general manager of SCAN Health Plan, in a statement.
Walmart Group Director for Consumer Health and Data Solutions Pravene Nath said the collaboration is distinct because of Walmart's role in customers' everyday lives. "Because customers regularly turn to Walmart for groceries and other everyday essentials, we have an opportunity for those who choose to participate, to use insights from their shopping experiences to make nutrition guidance more relevant and actionable," Nath said in a statement.

Wednesday’s Senate confirmation hearing wasn’t the first time much of the American public met Dr. Nicole Saphier and heard her perspective; President Donald Trump’s nominee for US surgeon general is a health and wellness influencer who has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers through her podcast and social media platforms.
In some ways, the surgeon general position – often referred to as the nation’s doctor – is the original health influencer, tasked with translating science into terms that are easy to understand and guiding the public on ways to improve their health.
“For a decade, I have specialized in translating complex, fast-evolving medical information on various media platforms into content that millions of Americans can understand and use, including during the uncertainty of the global pandemic,” Saphier, a radiologist and Fox News contributor, said in Wednesday’s hearing.
“I realized then how badly this country needs public health communication that is straightforward and grounded in the best evidence available,” she said. “My years of communicating directly with the public have prepared me to explain complex topics in a way that they can understand.”
But experts say that social media has changed how people receive health information, with increasingly blurred lines as to who is considered to have authority and expertise – and that bringing an influencer into the role of surgeon general presents both opportunities and challenges.

Jim Curtis is opening about about his romance with Jennifer Aniston.
The wellness expert and hypnotherapist, 50, explained the couple's low-key beginnings in an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine published Saturday, September 12, revealing there was "a many-month friendship first" before things turned romantic.
"The drive was more natural, more organic, less needy," Curtis explained.
Curtis admitted his approach to relationships had changed by the time he connected with the Friends star, 57, after previously putting pressure on himself to find a partner.
"In the past I've felt this idea of, 'I need you to be in love with me,'" he reflected, adding that when Aniston came into his life, he wasn't "searching for love anymore."

Jennifer Aniston reportedly cannot stop bringing a comparison between her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, to her exes. According to a new report, a source claimed that the "Friends" alum has gained an entirely new perspective on her relationships in the past after her romance with the wellness author and hypnotherapist. The Hollywood star allegedly believes that Jim Curtis is "the best lover" she has ever had.
Jennifer Aniston reportedly believes that "none of her exes can compare" to her current boyfriend, Jim Curtis. As reported by the National Enquirer, a source told them that "Jen fully admits that she and Jim are still in the honeymoon stage." The source then explained that the couple has been in a romantic relationship for more than a year now.
According to the source, it is quite "remarkable" for the actor and the wellness author to still share this type of "electricity," which generally begins to "fade at this point in a relationship."
Furthermore, the insider claimed that Jennifer Aniston can't stop comparing her beau, Jim Curtis, to the others she was in a relationship with in the past. The "Just Go With It" actor was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. She also had a married life with Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018.
Per the insider, according to the actor, the hypnotherapist is "hands down the best lover she's had in every way." The source continued, "Brad was obviously incredibly handsome and there was plenty of passion between them. But looking back, she sees how much of that relationship revolved around him and his needs."

Let's just get this out of the way: Mark Wahlberg is as A-list as it gets. He broke out in 1997's "Boogie Nights," and in the nearly three decades since, he's built one of the highest-wattage careers in Hollywood: two Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nod for "The Fighter," multiple Emmy nominations as a producer (HBO's "Entourage" among them), and a filmography that spans crime dramas, comedies, and action blockbusters. Right now, he's back on screen in "By Any Means," a manhunt thriller set during the 1966 Mississippi civil rights killings.
He's also signaling where he's increasingly turning his attention. Wahlberg will sit down with Bruce K. Lee, Founder and CEO of Keebeck Wealth Management, on the main stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to talk about his own progression. Grab your ticket here so you don't miss a moment of this session and Disrupt 2026. Ticket prices increase on September 25.
Image Credits:TechCrunch
His acting career is really just part of the picture. Over the past two decades, Wahlberg has built a production company, a restaurant chain, apparel and fitness ventures, a slate of angel investments, and the now 25-year-old Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which supports inner-city kids and teens. He's used his Hollywood success to launch big projects well outside the movie business — and in a fireside chat at this year's Disrupt, he's going to give us a peek into how.
Wahlberg, who's leaned almost entirely on entrepreneurial instinct about people, culture, products, and markets, is now someone who's been building institutional-level investing discipline, with Lee as his guide, and with a growing focus on healthcare and wellness startups. It's a rare, unvarnished look at how someone with Wahlberg's cultural intelligence has worked his way into some of the most sophisticated rooms in business and finance.

Michael Strahan is reportedly a father of five!
The "Good Morning America" host, 54, and girlfriend Kayla Quick quietly welcomed their first child together, a daughter, earlier this year, according to TMZ. Strahan is also dad to daughter Tanita, 34, and son Michael Jr., 31, whom he shares with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, and twins Sophia and Isabella, 21, with ex-wife Jean Muggli.
The former New York Giants player and Quick, who founded wellness supplement brand FIZZNESS, were first romantically linked in 2015. In the years since, they have largely kept their relationship under wraps.
In 2023, they made a rare public appearance together when Quick attended a ceremony honoring Strahan as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Strahan has been outspoken about his kids in the past, sharing in 2025 that his daughter Isabella Strahan had been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor, two years prior. She appeared alongside her dad on "GMA" at the time, explaining how she had to have emergency surgery to remove the golf ball-sized mass.

The NFL is expanding the mental health resources available to players and their families.
Beginning Sept. 1, NFL players and any family members on their insurance plan will gain access to a network of vetted clinicians in every NFL city. Players can use these resources, in addition to in-house clinicians, without visit limits or coinsurance requirements, NFL vice president of wellness and clinical services Dr. Nyaka NiiLampti told Yahoo Sports.
The network launch comes in the wake of a spring announcement by the league to increase mental health resources in three tiers following the deaths by suicide of Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore last November and February, respectively.
The league announced in March that it was increasing its in-house clinical presence to require teams to staff full-time mental health clinicians, up from the previous requirement that teams staff clinicians at least eight to 12 hours a week as mandated by the NFL-NFLPA collective bargaining agreement. The NFL also has sought to increase efforts to support the mental health of players battling injuries, as Moore had in the years prior to his death. And the NFL and NFLPA partnered with Cigna Healthcare to create this network.
"Historically the sense was that players don't use mental health resources," NiiLampti told Yahoo Sports by phone on Tuesday. "Sports is a microcosm of society. So in the last few years we've seen everybody increase their use of mental health resources and this population is no different. And so we've probably had more difficulties trying to find a provider than we have had people willing to use the resource.

Amid Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's plans to return to the UK, a celebrity chef has predicted a harsh future for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The former actress may be planning to bring the venture with her. However, whether or not the British audience will accept it remains uncertain.
Meghan Markle launched the lifestyle and wellness brand, American Riviera Orchard, in 2024. She rebranded it as "As Ever" a year later. Its offerings include fruit spreads, honey, herbal teas, hand-poured candles, flower sprinkles, and seasonal gift sets. So far, the brand has only had consumers in America. With the Sussexes' return to the UK, rumors have been swirling that the brand will try to establish its foothold there.
While speaking to the Daily Express, celebrity chef Jameson Stocks delivered a brutal prediction for As Ever. "I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of department stores in London have already signed a deal to sell her below-average overpriced tat."
He believes Markle will reinvent her brand for the British market, but remains unsure that it will work. "I have no doubt that she will pivot her brand and launch something in the UK. The question is there enough mugs in the UK to buy it?"
The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex's relationship with the British royal family could improve upon their return. This could recenter the attention on Markle and her brand. Reflecting on the difficulties of rebuilding the relationship with the royal family, Stocks said, "When you're backed into a corner with very few options left – having exhausted every possible avenue, you often find yourself turning back to your family."

Miranda Kerr has addressed the backlash she faced over her disciplined diet and wellness routine. The supermodel took to Instagram on August 21 to open up about her daily lifestyle that had been labelled as "unhinged habits".
"Some of my 'unhinged' habits are actually just the routines that make me feel my best. For me, that looks like avoiding foods that cause inflammation in my body, prioritizing sleep, and being really intentional about the little choices I make every day. I start each morning with noni juice (even though I'll be the first to admit it doesn't taste very good), I cut out alcohol and I'm usually in bed before 9pm," she penned in the caption. "Wellness looks different for everyone, so be sure to listen to your body and stay consistent with what makes you feel good."
Miranda shared a post that broke down the non-negotiable wellness practices she follows to ensure she feels her best. "Eating a gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free diet to reduce inflammation," read the first slide in the carousel. Other practices included being in bed by 9pm and up at 5am, starting everyday with a shot of noni juice, never falling asleep in makeup, eating dinner with her kids at 5pm, avoiding alcohol, and using certified organic skincare from her brand KORA Organics.

The criticism came after Miranda appeared on Kristin Cavallari's Let's be Honest podcast, where she explained that she changed her diet when she was diagnosed with proctitis, a form of irritable bowel syndrome, during her pregnancy with her second son six years ago.

Walmart (WMT) raised its full-year financial outlook after beating Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines, but the stock fell 9% after US same-store sales slowed.
America's biggest retailer, often considered a bellwether for the industry, posted revenue growth of nearly 6% to $187.9 billion, above the roughly $186 billion expected, per Bloomberg consensus data. Adjusted earnings per share clocked in at $0.81, also higher than the $0.74 expected.
However, US same-store sales grew 2.6%, below Wall Street's forecast of 3.7%. This was the slowest pace of US same-store sales growth since Q4 of 2020.
Lower drug prices dragged down sales growth. Excluding health & wellness, which was negatively impacted by maximum fair price legislation that allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices, Walmart reported 3.4% same-store sales growth in core merchandise.
The company also noted it was lapping strong growth in GLP-1 adoption over the past two years.

The Atlanta Dream and the WNBA are in the hot seat after security staff at Sunday night's game in Atlanta had a confrontation with two women wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts.
The much-anticipated game brought the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark to Atlanta to face Angel Reese and the Dream, ending in a close 95-91 Fever overtime win.
But much of the heat appeared to happen off the court as a Georgia mom and her daughter were told by security staff to cover the shirts or be escorted out of the game with two and a half minutes left in overtime, the family told Fox News. They were told the shirts were offensive to other fans.
Sunday's game was marketed as "Wellness & Health Night," complete with shirts for fans. State Farm Arena policy also prohibits "clothing, garments or signs displaying explicit language, profanity or derogatory characterization of any person(s)."
In a message on social media, the Dream said the decision to intervene was made by WNBA security, and not the team.

Only Murders In The Building and Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is sounding fairly ******* off this week, denouncing a recent fraud lawsuit launched against her mental health wellness brand Wondermind. Per People, the lawsuit was aimed at Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former Wondermind co-CEO Daniella Pierson, claiming the trio "falsely represented" the company's "infrastructure, leadership, and resources" while soliciting more than a million dollars in investments—which is a fancy way to say that there have been a lot of allegations that, while the company sold itself as being able to capitalize on Gomez's massive celebrity and social media following (something that's made her cosmetics company Rare Beauty a reportedly billion-dollar business), in actuality, it was being run almost entirely by Teefey, with very little involvement from her famous daughter.
All of this was laid out in a fairly brutal September 2025 article in The Cut, which talked to several anonymous former Wondermind employees about the not-especially-pleasant-sounding experience of working for Teefey, who the article portrayed as unwell, disorganized, and generally not up to the strain of running a company alone. (Pierson, founder of The Newsette—and the subject of her own takedown article in Forbes last year—exited Wondermind a year after its 2021 founding, reportedly after conflict with Teefey.) The lawsuit says investors got seriously worried about getting their money back when Forbes ran a report back in May 2025 that the company had failed to pay its employees; Gomez reportedly stepped in to cover the debts.
(Meanwhile, if you're wondering what Wondermind—which bills itself as "The World's First Mental Fitness Ecosystem—actually does or makes, the answer is: Not very much, as far as we can tell. The site has run a blog, which has only intermittently been updated in recent years, and ran two short-lived podcasts in the past. But plans for snack offerings, a docuseries about Venus Williams, an app, and film projects have all failed to materialize. Many of the staffers quoted in The Cut article noted that Teefey—whose biggest professional success was pretty objectively the period where she served as Gomez's manager in the early years of her career, before being fired by her daughter in 2014—was good at suggesting projects, but not at actually bringing them to fruition.)
Gomez, like we said, sounds pretty angry to be getting her name and brand dragged through the mud with all this. Per People, her legal team put out a statement this weekend, stating that "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her." Teefey and Pierson, both named as co-defendants, haven't made public statements as of yet.

The Indiana Fever dismantled the New York Liberty on Tuesday night, winning with a final score of 106-92. It was another masterclass performance from Indiana's guards, with Caitlin Clark scoring 22 points and dishing 10 ***** ists and Kelsey Mitchell adding 28 points of her own.
However, heading into the game, Fever head coach Stephanie White faced calls for her job from several members of sports media for failing to "defend" Sophie Cunningham after a hard foul by Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington on Saturday.
White addressed her detractors directly before Tuesday's game.
"You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are in this room," she said in her pregame presser. "This is more for an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist, trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who I am, of what I'm about.
"Our players' success, our players' health and wellness, our players' safety is always a top priority for me. One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players. For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn't see the play in real time. I take personally any suggestions that I don't 100% always have my players' back. I ride with them 10 toes down all the time. All the time. They know that."

"Our players' success, our players' health and wellness, our players' safety is always a top priority for me. One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players. For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn't see the play in real time. I take personally any suggestions that I don't 100% always have my players' back. I ride with them 10 toes down all the time. All the time. They know that."
