DS Smith reported £701m FY24 EBITA (in-line with consensus), with a positive FY25E box demand and pricing outlook. However, due to cost pressures (labour, OCC etc.), we expect minimal changes to £706.5m FY25E DS Smith EBITA consensus. As a result of uncertainty surrounding the potential International Paper (IP) bid from Suzano, DS Smith trades at a c.25% discount to IP’s recommended April 2024 offer. Expect focus on the IP offer at DS Smith’s 09:00 call. Dial-in details are: +44 (0) 33 0551 0200; password: DS Smith.
