Summary

Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP said it is investigating whether O-I Glass, Inc. violated securities laws after the company reported second-quarter 2026 results, lowered its full-year adjusted earnings guidance and saw its shares fall about 15% on July 29, 2026. The firm said the earnings cut disappointed analysts and highlighted a sharp deterioration in Europe, where operating profit fell to $6 million from $90 million in the prior-year period. Earlier investor-law-firm notices on the same selloff cited additional details from the earnings release, including revenue of $1.67 billion versus forecasts of $1.69 billion to $1.7 billion, adjusted earnings of $0.09 per share versus roughly $0.29 expected, cuts to 2026 and 2027 guidance metrics, and an $873 million non-cash goodwill impairment.
