  "account": "Investment management firm First Pacific Advisors revealed in their Q2 2026 investor letter that Graphic Packaging Holding (GPK), a vertically integrated paper packaging manufacturer, is a company struggling due to weak industry fundamentals, high costs at its Waco, TX recycled paperboard plant, and excessive debt. The company has recently faced departures of its CFO and CEO, with the CFO joining Amcor and the CEO leaving under acrimonious circumstances. Despite these challenges, First Pacific Advisors sees potential in GPK's product offerings, which align with the current trend of shifting from plastic to paper in consumer and retail packaging. The fund currently holds a position of less than 50 basis points in GPK. It is worth noting that GPK is not included in the list of the 40 most popular stocks among hedge funds expected to perform well in 2026.",
