UPM (Buy, TP: EUR45.00) - All eyes on Uruguay

We remain well above consensus on 2024–2025e earnings, and with much higher pulp prices directly benefiting the growing pulp business, as well as continued market support for other industries, we see a strong likelihood of consensus being raised following the Q2 report. We have made relatively few changes to our earnings forecasts, and continue to believe the market is being overly cautious about UPM’s attractive low-cost pulp business being heavily tilted to Uruguay. We reiterate our BUY and EUR45 target price.
