Argus Research Reaffirms Their Buy Rating on Smurfit Westrock (SW)We see long-term upside potential and expect earnings growth congruent with growth in e-commerce and growth in demand for sustainable paper and packaging goods. We also expect to see margin growth with operational efficiency improvements in the coming quarters. We think that current valuation multiples are attractive given the company’s recovering earnings outlook through FY26. On valuation metrics, shares are currently trading at a discount on price/book and price/sales compared to peers and have a current P/E of 13- times our 2026 estimates. The 3.7% dividend yield also signals value. Our target price is $55.
