SW Earnings Predictions — 2026-07-29

Ticker Report or Guide KPI Prediction Answer Confidence
SW Report Q2 Adjusted EBITDA BEAT pred ~$1.19B vs. cons ~$1.15B MEDIUM
SW Report Q2 Net sales IN-LINE pred ~$7.95B vs. cons ~$7.92B MEDIUM
SW Report Q2 Adjusted EPS IN-LINE pred ~$0.47 vs. cons ~$0.46 LOW
SW Guide FY2026 Adjusted EBITDA guide UNCHANGED guide ~$5.0–5.3B (mid ~$5.15B) vs. cons ~$5.15B (FY2026) MEDIUM
SW Guide NA containerboard pricing endorsement (out-period) BETTER guide embeds ~+$50/ton vs. new ~+$80/ton IP round announced (H2 2026) MEDIUM
SW Guide Q3 2026 implied Adjusted EBITDA sequential UNKNOWN pred ~$1.25–1.35B vs. cons ~$1.30B (Q3 2026) LOW
SW Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -4.0% MEDIUM
SW Return 5-day cumulative residual -6.0% (FADE) Stock ran +16% in three sessions and ~28% YTD into the print, so the demand/pricing thesis is largely priced. Base case is a guide reaffirm (not a raise) against a Q2 midpoint that is down ~5% YoY vs. $1,213M — 'sell-the-news' risk even on a modest EBITDA beat. Out-period math (reaffirmed $5.0–5.3B implying no upward revision despite the fresh $80/ton round) keeps FY estimates capped, so post-print profit-taking continues; strong industry tape cushions but does not reverse the fade over 5 days.
