Smurfit Westrock shares came under pressure as the company unveiled plans to shut its La Tuque paper machine and Quebec extrusion plant, moves that raised concerns about future capacity and regional exposure. The closures, while framed as streamlining, added uncertainty that weighed on market sentiment.
At the same time, the group reported strong Q4 results, with solid EBITDA, net income, and robust operating and free cash flow, which could support long‑term value. Smurfit Westrock also confirmed voting rights, declared a quarterly dividend, and scheduled a February investor update, signaling confidence despite the restructuring steps.
