The latest update is out from Smurfit Westrock ( (SW) ).
Smurfit Westrock reported first-quarter 2026 net sales of $7.71 billion, net income of $63 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $1.08 billion, with margins pressured by adverse weather costs in North America and slightly lower cash generation year on year. The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per share and reaffirmed full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $5.0 billion to $5.3 billion, signalling confidence in improving demand and pricing across key regions.
Management highlighted North America as its largest value-creation opportunity, citing rising containerboard prices, over 600 new corrugated customers, and expectations for second-half volume growth despite first-quarter disruptions. EMEA and APAC continued to outperform peers and are undergoing asset optimisation, while Latin America delivered strong margins and expanded capacity in Ecuador, and the company also launched a review of its London Stock Exchange listing that could lead to a delisting, consolidating its focus on its primary New York listing.
