Smurfit Westrock: Building The Global Packaging Champion

Smurfit Westrock is emerging as the global leader in packaging following the merger, with operational synergies and a clear margin expansion roadmap supporting the long-term investment case. While North American volumes declined due to customer mix optimisation, improving pricing dynamics and potential price increases could add meaningful EBITDA upside. Even when applying the lower end of the company's guidance, the stock offers ~30% potential upside alongside a ~4.5% yield.
