DAVY VIEW

UPM has warned on profits due to weak pulp, label and Asian graphic paper demand. Its €291m Q3 2024e comparable EBIT is a 27% consensus miss. Our revised €1.13bn 2024e comparable EBIT and €1.35bn 2025e comparable EBIT sit c.20-25% below the street. We advocate Finnish pulp mill closures, ideally from both UPM and Stora Enso, to stabilise industry profits.
