The latest update is out from Cascades ( (TSE:CAS) ).
Cascades reported fourth-quarter 2025 sales of $1.197 billion, with operating income rising to $76 million and earnings per share improving to $0.37, reflecting stronger packaging performance offset by weaker tissue results and a costly power outage. For full-year 2025, sales grew to $4.776 billion, operating income more than doubled to $235 million, adjusted EBITDA climbed to $576 million, and net debt fell to $1.896 billion, as asset sales surpassed the company’s monetization target and strategic actions began to deliver operational and financial gains.
Management expects first-quarter results to soften sequentially due to normal seasonality, weather-driven cost pressures and lingering impacts from the power outage, though performance should remain above prior-year levels. Looking to 2026, Cascades anticipates results will exceed 2025 as it continues deleveraging, benefits from profitability initiatives and consolidates its positioning in packaging and tissue despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CAS) stock is a Hold with a C$15.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cascades stock, see the TSE:CAS Stock Forecast page.

Cascades’ overall score is driven by strong operational performance and cash flow generation, despite profitability challenges and high leverage.
