Investment Thesis — O-I Glass, Inc.
The market is overly focused on OI's recent net losses and short-term demand volatility, missing the company's structural cost improvements and pricing power in specialty glass. Investors are underestimating the durability of cash flows and the potential for margin normalization as supply chains stabilize.
