Smurfit Westrock revenue increased 1.1% to $8.03 billion, while adjusted EBITDA remained under pressure from higher freight, energy, and other input costs. Management lowered its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to $4.9–5.1 billion, broadly in line with our existing $5 billion forecast. We therefore see the market's negative reaction as largely focused on near-term cost pressures rather than a material deterioration in the underlying investment case.
