Stora Enso Oyj ( ($SE:STE.A) ) has shared an announcement.
Stora Enso reported Q1 2026 sales essentially flat at EUR 2.36 billion, while adjusted EBIT fell 9% as foreign exchange headwinds and the ramp-up of its Oulu consumer board line weighed on margins despite lower wood costs. Cash flow from operations weakened on restructuring and working capital needs, but cash flow after investments and leverage improved, and the company maintained a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share for 2025.
Strategically, the group is advancing the planned separation and stock-market listing of its Swedish forest assets business by the first half of 2027 and continues a review of its Central European sawmills and building solutions operations. Management flagged a challenging outlook for Q2 amid weak demand, higher costs tied to geopolitical tensions and EU ETS rule changes, and ongoing start-up losses at Oulu, implying continued pressure on profitability following the 2025 divestment of 175,000 hectares of Swedish forest assets.
