Sylvamo Corp (SLVM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Sylvamo Corp (SLVM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sylvamo Corp's strong outlook is underscored by elevated UFS fundamentals that are expected to facilitate a reduction in leverage in the near term, as well as anticipated year-over-year volume improvements in UFS for 2024. The company's European segment showed positive performance, with adjusted EBITDA and sales surpassing forecasts, driven by stronger-than-expected shipments. Additionally, sustainable practices, such as the partnership with Dalkia for biomass energy, have significantly reduced fossil fuel usage while enhancing earnings, indicating a commitment to operational efficiency and profitability.
Bears say
Sylvamo Corp faces a challenging market environment, as demonstrated by a global decline in uncoated freesheet (UFS) demand, which decreased at a 0.4% CAGR from 2014 to 2019, prior to the pandemic. Additionally, the company's European segment significantly underperformed, reporting an Adjusted EBITDA of -$5 million against a forecast of $1.3 million, alongside sales of $184 million that fell short of the anticipated $213 million. Although the Q3 2023 results surpassed some expectations with an Adjusted EBITDA of $158 million, the guidance for Q4 2023 indicates performance may again lag behind market expectations.
