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.

Chrissy Teigen's kids looked completely done with the heat in a new family photo from their latest outing. The adorable snapshot showed the family enjoying fast food together. The kids seemed to be doing everything possible to escape the soaring temperatures.
Chrissy Teigen shared the photo on Instagram with the hilarious caption, "we are not a family built for heat." And judging by the kids' expressions and outfits, she may have a point.
The photo showed Teigen sitting with her children at an In-N-Out Burger joint. The kids gathered around a table filled with burgers, fries, and drinks. However, their clothing choices made the heat situation even more amusing.
One child wore a cozy light-colored sweatshirt, while another sported an orange sweatshirt. A third child also appeared bundled up in a sweatshirt. Their layered looks immediately caught fans' attention, especially considering the family's complaint about the weather.
Teigen's kids' heat moment quickly caught followers' attention. One commenter wrote, "Try heat without sweaters haha." Another joked, "The kids In the sweatshirts? Idk how kids can do that." Someone else offered a sweeter response, writing, "You're a family built for sharing JOY ~ !!!"

Michael Douglas opens up about a "wildly embarrassing" incident involving Julia Roberts in his newly released memoir, One **** uva Ride.
In the new book, Douglas, 82, shares an extraordinarily candid account of his cocaine and alcohol abuse, which resulted in some regrettable moments in his life.
"A typical night was probably five drinks and a gram of **** e," Douglas writes about the height of his addiction in the early Nineties.
It was during this time that Douglas had what he describes as "a wildly embarrassing incident with Julia Roberts that stuck with me for years."
In 1990, Douglas had produced Flatliners, the Joel Schumacher thriller starring Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Oliver Platt.

PepsiCo (PEP) has gone nowhere for a year, down 1.8% over the past twelve months while the S&P 500 returned 16.6%. At about $135 a share it trades at 17.7 times earnings, against an S&P 500 median of 22.5. A big cash generator priced below the market is what value buyers hunt for, so is this discount impatience or a verdict?
PepsiCo sells snacks and drinks everywhere consumer staples get sold: grocery aisles, convenience and gas stations, and the away-from-home locations it keeps adding. That reach turns into cash: free cash flow over the trailing twelve months was $9.28 billion, a 5.0% yield.
None of the recent numbers look like a business in trouble. Revenue over the trailing twelve months grew 5.6%, and the operating margin is holding at 15.0% against an S&P 500 median of 18.6%. Management says global volumes grew in both foods and beverages in the first half of 2026, the fastest growth in volume since 2022.
Widen the window and the picture changes. PepsiCo's revenue grew 5.6% over the trailing twelve months against an S&P 500 median of 8.3%, and its three-year average is just 2.5% a year. The trailing twelve months ran hotter, but one window is not a pace, and the pace is what the market pays for.
The company lowered prices in the U.S. early in 2026 to get volume moving. Management says salty snacks went from falling volume to rising volume and PepsiCo gained share, but volume in the second quarter of 2026 fell short of what it expected, which it blames on a consumer hurt by higher gas prices and on delays executing the price investment at some customers. None of this is lost on the market: it is pricing a company that grows slowly and has just spent money trying to grow faster. The problem sits in North America, while the international business stayed strong.

The group has proprietary technology, a team with digital and artificial intelligence skills, and a direct relationship with the urban consumer, which becomes a market laboratory for the entire portfolio."

PepsiCo's 54 consecutive dividend increases and Colgate-Palmolive's 61.5% gross margin show how essential, habitual products keep compounding through every market cycle.
3M's specified industrial materials lock customers in through full qualification requirements, delivering 5.4% organic growth and 24.9% operating margins in Q2 2026.
Just released. Our **** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Boring works. Over a market cycle, essential-service businesses tend to keep selling toothpaste, chips, and industrial adhesives regardless of what the S&P 500 is doing on any given afternoon. Consider PepsiCo's own dividend record: management has committed to a 4% increase in the annualized dividend per share beginning with the June 2026 payment, which will represent the 54th consecutive annual increase. A streak that long spans every officially declared bear market since the mid-1970s. The three names below are held together by that same idea: durable demand, unglamorous products, and customers who do not easily leave.
PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) sells convenient foods and beverages: Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Quaker, Tostitos, Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Aquafina, and Tropicana. These are low-ticket, habitual purchases. When households tightened budgets in 2008-2009 and again in 2020, they did not stop buying salty snacks or sports drinks; they traded down within the aisle, and PepsiCo's multi-tier portfolio caught them on the way. On the most recent call, CEO Ramon Laguarta described the international business plainly: "The truth is that all those markets have remained very resilient."

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift tied the knot nearly two months ago in a massive wedding that occurred at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Several celebrities, from actors to comedians to superstar athletes, attended, making the magical moment even more special for the bride and groom. There was one thing, though, that Travis wished could've been different, and his brother Jason seemed to agree.
On the September 2 episode of Travis and Jason's "New Heights" podcast, the two NFL stars spoke about the big day. "It's a night out we'll never forget," Travis said about the ceremony.
"Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, from the vows to just seeing everyone, to how much fun we had, throughout the entire evening and hearing that, kind of be relayed through everybody's stories of the night. And it was just so magical, man," he added.
Despite being all smiles, Travis said he wished the night "could have lasted even longer," noting that it felt like things happened "in the blink of an eye" before Jason said, "They kicked us out!"
However, Travis expected that, saying that "once the drinks stopped being served," everyone started to dip out.

People who consume greater amounts of a popular artificial sweetener could face a greater risk of heart attack and stroke, a new study suggests.
The research, which was presented at the ESC Cardiology Congress in Germany this week, showed that higher levels of xylitol in the blood were **** ociated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener and sugar substitute, according to the National Institutes of Health. It is often used in higher amounts to sweeten foods, drinks, chewing gum and dental care products.
Zero-calorie Sweeteners Could Alter The Genes Of Later Generations, New Study Warns
The researchers followed two large study cohorts of more than 17,700 Canadian and British participants.

The summer of 2026 has been a big one for the NBA. Besides major trades and ownership drama, we've seen several players call it a career, including Russell Westbrook and Kyle Lowry. Of course, there's also point guard legend Chris Paul, who retired back in February after being released by the Clippers.
In the case of Paul and Westbrook specifically, their NBA stories may be over now, but the fun is only just getting started. According to NBA veteran Matt Barnes, the former superstars are planning to link up for an epic vacation, where they will bring their wives to honor their storied careers.
"I just talked to CP two days ago," said Matt Barnes on 'All the Smoke.' "He and [Russell Westbrook] are going on vacation. They're taking their wives on vacation. So, two of the greatest PGs are going to kick it up in the sand, have some drinks, and really just celebrate because this is the end of Russ and CP's careers. **** of a run, bro. One of the most feared point guards we've ever seen. I remember him in his heyday with the Lob City team; he was a monster."
It's never easy for an athlete to walk away from their favorite sport, but it's a moment that comes for every player. What comes next varies from person to person, but it really depends on how involved they want to be with the game. While some ex-players (like Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter) opt for media roles, others (like Jason Kidd) accept a coaching job. There are also those like Tim Duncan, who stay out of the limelight entirely.
We don't yet know which category Russ and Paul will fall into, but it's likely they need this vacation after the way they ended things. For Chris, his final stint with the Clippers was supposed to be a final send-off for his career, but things turned ugly when they struggled to win games. As much as he tried to right the ship, Paul alienated himself from the organization by overestimating his authority and making the wrong impression in the locker room.

Italian food-and-drinks group NewPrinces is dipping its toe into energy drinks, with the launch of a brand called Spartan in its home market.
In a post on LinkedIn, the fruit juices and soft drinks maker said the energy drinks line is being sold through Carrefour stores in Italy.
NewPrinces struck a deal to acquire Carrefour's operations in the country last year, as part of what it then described as "vertical integration between production and distribution".
The deal gave NewPrinces, which is one of Italy's largest food manufacturers, ownership of over 1,000 stores in the country.
Spartan is available in "original" and sugar-free versions. The drinks are "enriched with vitamin B6 and a source of vitamin B12", the group said in its social media post.

The food-and-drinks group was already projecting a decline in sales and its forecast has worsened.
In a stock-exchange filing yesterday (25 August), Orior reported a 7.1% fall in net sales and a 5.7% decline organically, a result the company described as "in line with expectations".
Nonetheless, Orior, home to brands including Rapelli charcuterie and Biotta juices, is forecasting a 6-8% decline in annual organic sales compared to its previous projection of a 3-6% decrease. Last year, the company's sales by that metric fell 1.5%.
"Orior looks to the second half of 2026 with confidence," the company insisted.

Finding emerging restaurant brands early in their national expansion can be one of the simplest ways to build long-term wealth. An early investment in Starbucks or Chipotle Mexican Grill would have multiplied into a large sum.
Dutch Bros (NYSE: BROS) and Cava Group (NYSE: CAVA) have the potential to build similar wealth for investors over the next 20 years. Both companies are in the early stages of expanding across the U.S., making now a good time to start investing in these emerging brands.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The specialty beverage category has grown in popularity in recent years, yet Dutch Bros is gaining market share and remains a promising stock to buy and hold. It operates exclusively through a drive-thru format, with shops offering a wide range of flavorful beverages, including energy drinks, refreshers, tea, lemonade, soda, and coffee.
Dutch Bros goes the extra mile to build connections with customers using free giveaways and friendly service. That's reflected in consistent growth: Revenue grew 32% year over year in the second quarter, with systemwide same-store sales up 5.8%. This is typical of quarterly results over the last few years.

When seen from the safe, comfortable vantage point of the living room sofa, it all seems so simple. Frank Mir was a UFC heavyweight champion with a long, decorated career in fight sports. His daughter Bella, being of his genetic lineage, also seemed to have some natural aptitude for the mixing of the martial arts, so it was only a matter of time until we saw her on the way to the UFC.
So when some people see her fighting on this Tuesday's edition of Dana White's Contender Series, they might think nothing of it. Pure logical progression, right? You'd think so, at least, if you've never spoken to a professional fighter about this very issue.
Many years ago I was having drinks with what you might call a mid-level UFC fighter whose wife had recently given birth to their first child. I offered my congratulations, like you do, and then without thinking much about it made an offhand remark about how maybe one day I'd cover one of his son's UFC fights the same way I'd covered the father's.
What I remember now is the look he gave me before he told me, in a tone of voice that said there was to be no joking on this subject, "That's honestly my worst nightmare."
Since I learn nothing, a couple years later I made the same mistake with former two-division UFC champion Jon Jones. Standing around the gym in Albuquerque, making conversation, I asked which of his daughters had the best chance of becoming a champion fighter some day.

McDonald's (MCD) just entered the energy-drink market, but the bigger question for investors is whether the move can help revive the stock after a difficult year. The company began selling its Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer across U.S. restaurants on Aug. 17, marking McDonald's first entry into energy drinks.
The timing is interesting because McDonald's recently delivered a mixed second-quarter report. Adjusted earnings came in at $3.38 per share, beating the $3.32 consensus estimate, while revenue of roughly $7.1 billion fell slightly short of the $7.14 billion estimate.

Once the line of Tennessee football fans had cleared out, the food arrived for employees at Window World. A DoorDash driver juggled a brown Firehouse Subs bag in one hand and four soft drinks in the other as she pushed open the glass doors.
She took a step inside, turned to her left and did a double take. Sitting in front of her was linebacker Arion Carter, there for a meet and greet to sign autographs for fans.
There was one football left in the back for Carter to sign, which she excitedly accepted. She then asked to take a picture with Carter. Her family wouldn't believe her without photo evidence.
"My brothers are going to be so mad at me!" she joked.
It was Carter's first public event since he was suspended two games by the NCAA because he returned to college after his agent had paid for a flight to an NFL pre-draft training facility. He is arguably Tennessee's best defensive player and will sit out the opener against Furman on Sept. 5 at Neyland Stadium and the road game at Georgia Tech on Sept. 12.

Consuming a sugary drink a day may significantly raise the risk of developing stomach cancer, according to new research from Mass General Brigham.
After accounting for other risk factors, the researchers found that one or more sugary drinks per day was linked to nearly triple the risk of gastric cancer compared with fewer than one serving per month.
Roughly two-thirds (63%) of U.S. adults report consuming sugar-sweetened beverages at least once a day, CDC data states.
Beer, Wine Or Liquor? Massive Study Reveals Which Was Linked To Lower Death Risk
While earlier studies linked sugary drinks to higher rates of liver, breast and colorectal malignancies, their specific impact on gastric tissue remained unclear until now.

Leicestershire head coach Alfonso Thomas hopes England 12th man duties will not deny him the services of all-rounder Rehan Ahmed for the One-Day Cup final next month.
Playing his first domestic List A game in five years, the 22-year-old hit 31 and then took a wicket with his first ball in the Foxes' semi-final win over Nottinghamshire on Sunday.
Yet selection for England's T20 and ODI series with Sri Lanka could see Ahmed miss Leicestershire's final showdown with Middlesex at Trent Bridge on 20 September.
"If he's playing for England that will obviously take first dibs," Thomas told BBC Radio Leicester.
"The one thing we don't want to see is him getting picked for England, and carry the drinks on the Saturday when he could have been playing a game of cricket.

After seven years of much-publicized sobriety, Brad Pitt earlier this month told Esquire that he is "back off the wagon." Given that Pitt has spent the last few years publicly volunteering information about his alcohol use and subsequent sobriety, his casual revelation that he now drinks "in a more restrained manner" raised more than a few eyebrows and spurred a wave of headlines.
Initially, I was wary of commenting on the news. Brad Pitt's sobriety is none of my business. But I'm also a sober journalist who writes a newsletter about addiction recovery; whether or not a person with a history of alcohol addiction can moderate their alcohol use after a period of sobriety is among the most frequent questions I receive.

Given that Pitt has repeatedly spoken publicly about his struggles with alcohol and subsequent sobriety, discussing the latest development feels like fair game.
The story also raises a second issue worth exploring: the redemptive recovery narrative as public image rehabilitation.

Many of Hollywood's sober stars have spoken openly about their journeys to sobriety with the public.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Dax Shepard and Anthony Hopkins, for example, are among the celebrities who have been sober for decades. The latter actor penned a memoir **** led We Did OK, Kid that chronicled his career and "the low points in his personal life," including his addiction, in 2025 — the same year that he celebrated 50 years of sobriety.
Fight Club actor Brad Pitt, meanwhile, stopped drinking for seven years and recently revealed that he is no longer sober, explaining he now drinks alcohol "in a more restrained manner."
"I got overconfident a couple times, went, Yep, nope, not good for me," he said in an August 2026 interview with Esquire. "Not in big quantities."
Here are 13 celebrities who have opened up about their sobriety over the years.

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) has always had a knack for reinvention; that's why it has maintained its position as the global market leader for 140 years.
In recent years, as consumer tastes shifted toward healthier, sugar-free beverages, the company pivoted into bottled water, energy drinks, juices, coffees, and even dairy products, which allowed it to retain its roughly 40% share of the global beverage market.
But being seen in all the right places has always been one of ******* e's strongest marketing moves. Its presence at the FIFA World Cup helped propel another strong quarter, as the company reported net revenues of $13.4 billion, a 7% year-over-year increase. With EPS of $0.97, Coca-Cola beat Wall Street estimates by 4% and raised its full-year outlook to 5%.
Yet Coca-Cola didn't become the world's largest beverage company on its own. Behind its constant reinvention is a global workforce responsible for turning its strategy into sales.
Here's a look at Coca-Cola's employees in 2026, where they work, and how recent layoffs have reshaped its workforce.

Unlike the high-octane drinks it's known for, Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) isn't energizing investor portfolios right now. Shares dipped 18% the day the business reported its financial results for the second quarter (ended June 30). They now trade at a gut-wrenching 75% below their March 2024 peak.
