The provided data delineates Amcor PLC's return on equity (ROE) across multiple reporting periods, exhibiting fluctuations over time. From September 30, 2020, through June 30, 2025, the ROE demonstrates periods of growth, stability, and subsequent decline.

In the initial period, September 2020, the ROE stood at 15.87%. Over the subsequent quarters, this figure generally trended upward, reaching 20.28% by September 2021, and surpassing 24% by December 2022. The peak within this timeframe appears around December 2022 at 24.56%, indicating improved shareholder returns and potentially enhanced profitability efficiency.

Following this peak, the ROE experienced a slight decline in the first quarter of 2023 to 23.00%, then further increased to 26.03% in June 2023, which reflects a period of robust return generation. However, a moderate decrease occurred thereafter, bringing the figure to 24.83% by September 2023.

The most notable change is observed in the December 2023 report, where the ROE sharply declined to 16.22%, and this downward trajectory continued into early 2024, with figures of 16.56% in March 2024, 18.81% in June 2024, and 19.62% in September 2024. These declines could suggest a deterioration in net income relative to shareholders' equity, potentially due to increased costs, reduced profitability, or changes in asset efficiency.

Subsequently, the ROE displays signs of recovery, reaching 21.09% in December 2024 and slightly decreasing to 20.96% in March 2025. However, a significant drop is evident in June 2025, where the ROE plummets to 4.36%, signaling a substantial reduction in return efficiency and possibly reflecting extraordinary circumstances, extraordinary losses, or changes in capital structure.

Overall, the ROE trend illustrates periods of growth and profitability, peaking in late 2022 and mid-2023, followed by notable declines at the end of 2023 and into 2025. The sharp downturn in the second quarter of 2025 suggests increased challenges or one-time adverse effects impacting shareholder returns.
