Smurfit Westrock Q2 Sales Hit $8.03B, Guides Q3 EBITDA to ~$1.3B
SW sits 45% above its 52-week low of $32.729.
Summary
Smurfit Westrock reported Q2 sales of $8.03 billion, slightly up year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of $1.14 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.35. Higher input costs, particularly freight, pressured margins, though strong paper demand and outperformance in EMEA and APAC provided offsets. The company guided Q3 adjusted EBITDA to approximately $1.3 billion and full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to $4.9–$5.1 billion, signaling confidence in pricing power to recover inflation. This follows the 8-K filed earlier today with the same figures, adding management commentary on cost headwinds and regional strength. The guidance range implies a meaningful sequential ramp in profitability, which will be a key focus for traders assessing margin recovery.
