While subdued demand, destocking and lower prices were consistent Q1 2023 themes, we see Q2 2023 signs of stabilisation in (1) Packaging, (2) Chinese pulp and (3) Wood (lumber). We re-affirm our ‘Outperform’ view of packaging leaders Smurfit Kappa Group (SKG) and DS Smith. While UPM remains our key pulp-related ‘Outperform’, we upgrade Stora Enso from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Outperform’.
