What the Analysts think about Metsä Board Oyj
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Metsä Board Oyj stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Metsä Board Oyj stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Comparable operating profit improved for a fourth straight quarter, reaching €5.5 million in Q3, while the transformation programme had delivered €148 million of annualised EBITDA gains by September. That is progress towards the €200 million target, although only about €99 million had yet reached reported EBITDA. (Metsä Board)
A tighter paperboard market is supporting prices, and Metsä Board said its European folding-boxboard share rose to 29% in September from 25% at the end of Q2. Stable sequential deliveries and slightly higher average prices in Q3 suggest the market balance may be improving. (Metsä Board, Investing.com)
The company’s 2026–2030 strategy targets annual revenue growth above 4% in consumer packaging, ahead of its estimated 3–4% target-market growth. This offers a route to growth beyond the current cost-cutting programme if the company can win business in those segments. (Inderes)
Sales fell to €402.3 million in Q3 from €441.2 million a year earlier, and nine-month sales were also lower year on year. The company says demand visibility remains uncertain, leaving revenue vulnerable even as pricing improves. (Metsä Board)
Husum remained loss-making with low operating rates, while weak pulp demand kept Metsä Fibre’s Joutseno mill shut. Rising energy, logistics and chemical costs could continue to limit the benefit from improved board prices. (Metsä Board)
Operating cash flow was negative by €39.5 million for the first nine months, and leverage stood at 4.6 times, above the company’s 2.5-times target. Q3 earnings also included about €10 million from tariff refunds, which will not recur in Q4. (Metsä Board, Investing.com)
