Bulls say / Bears say
Q3 adjusted EBIT rose 28% year on year to €161 million and the margin expanded to 7.2%, as higher board volumes and lower variable costs supported the improvement. (Stora Enso)
The board has approved a plan to separate the Swedish forest business into a listed company, which could sharpen Stora Enso’s packaging focus and give investors a clearer view of each business. Shareholders are due to vote in December, with completion planned for March 2027. (Stora Enso)
Cash flow after investing activities increased to €132 million in Q3 from €57 million a year earlier, while net debt to adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.1 times from 2.7 times. This gives the group more financial headroom as it completes its investment programme. (Stora Enso)
The company expects subdued demand across several end markets and more pressure on energy, logistics and chemical costs in Q4. Planned maintenance will also mean higher costs and lower Consumer Packaging volumes. (Stora Enso)
Despite stronger adjusted operating profit, Q3 IFRS operating result fell to €47 million from €231 million and EPS dropped to €0.01 from €0.25. Impairments, restructuring and disposals contributed to the gap, leaving reported earnings markedly weaker. (Stora Enso)
Emission-rights income is forecast at only €10–20 million in 2026, down from about €72 million in 2025, while the earlier Swedish forest divestment cuts annual adjusted EBIT by about €20 million. These are headwinds to earnings that better operating performance must offset. (Stora Enso)
