Wells Fargo analyst Gabe Hajde raised the firm’s price target on Smurfit Westrock (SW) to $55 from $48 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm says Q4 – North America volumes and profit were underwhelmed, but the medium-term investor update sharpened the roadmap. Self-help actions, clearer regional earnings targets, and a structured 2030 plan now sets up a “show-me” execution phase with upside if NA mix and footprint actions land, Wells adds.
