Factors Likely to Shape SW’s Q3 Results
The demand for corrugated packaging and containerboard for the packaging of essential items, such as food, beverages and medicines, has been stable. Strong growth in e-commerce and rising demand for paper as a sustainable packaging solution have favored the industry. These trends are expected to get reflected in Smurfit Westrock’s third-quarter 2025 results.
However, some of these gains are likely to have been offset by weak volumes in Europe and lower box demand. This is expected to have hurt Smurfit Westrock’s results. The company expects to achieve an adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025.
The merger-related costs are expected to have impacted SW’s third-quarter performance and free cash flow margin. Pricing actions and cost-saving initiatives are likely to have negated some of these headwinds.
