UPM (Buy, TP: EUR44.00) - Earnings tailwind
Our 2024 forecasts remain well above consensus, and with much higher pulp prices directly benefiting UPM’s growing pulp business and evidence that volumes for its key businesses are increasing, we expect meaningful positive consensus revisions on the Q1 report. We have made relatively few changes to our optimistic earnings scenario. The stock remains our sector top pick, and we reiterate our BUY and EUR44 target price.UPM-Kymmene is a global paper and forest products group, mainly engaged in the production of paper, with an emphasis on the manufacture and sale of printing and writing papers.
