Canonical: https://valuechain.wiki/ball · Facet: ripple · Updated: 2026-10-12T20:24:07.419404+00:00 · Source: ValueChain.wiki (cited money-flow graph)

**Citable summary**: Per the valuechain.wiki graph, Ball Corporation is directly linked to 2 companies (0 supply, 2 revenue relationships) and reaches 3 companies within two hops; the links are backed by 6 dated sources, 3 of them primary filings (as of 2026-10-12).

Beverage demand reached packaging at different speeds by customer. Monster gained 45.9% in 2025 and another 13.8% in 2026, while Constellation Brands fell 36.0% and 9.2% over the same periods. Ball, positioned between those customers, turned from -2.4% in 2025 to +11.5% in 2026. H1 2026 sales rose 18.1%, with $898 million of price/mix growth driven mainly by higher aluminum prices. Strong energy-drink volume and metal pass-throughs therefore supported Ball's recovery, while weak beer customers capped it. The lagging layer is can-sheet supply such as Novelis, but its private status prevents direct stock-return testing. Aluminum is the exception that can break the chain thesis: higher input prices lift Ball's reported sales through contractual pass-throughs without necessarily improving margins.
