AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

At the close on 2026-10-13, Sylvamo is a $1.3 billion paper and pulp producer trading at $32.17. FairStock's calculations show a P/E of 17.2, P/B of 1.34, and EV/EBITDA of 6.13; the stated dividend yield is 5.06%. The Graham Number is $31.77, so the margin of safety is slightly negative at -1.26%; this is not a deep-value bargain. FairStock classifies it as CYCLICAL, because paper and paper products earnings follow the economic cycle. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $806 million and net income was -$11 million, or diluted EPS -$0.28. In fiscal Q1 2026, ended 2026-03-31, revenue was $755 million and net income was -$3 million. That follows fiscal Q3 2025, ended 2025-09-30, with $846 million revenue, $57 million net income, and $1.41 diluted EPS. For FY2025, revenue was $3.4 billion, net income $132 million, and diluted EPS $3.24, down from FY2024's $3.8 billion, $302 million, and $7.18. Trailing free cash flow is -$11 million, so the dividend needs watching. Financial health is mixed: D/E 1.08, Altman Z 2.04, Piotroski 5/9, ROE 7.94%, ROCE 4.33%. A paper maker has limited pricing power and heavy capital needs, so I look for cost discipline and asset value. The 52-week range of $30.40-$56.80 shows Mr. Market's mood swinging hard. At today's price, the market is not paying a premium for past earnings, but it is also not offering the clear discount I want when earnings are negative. I would watch whether losses reverse before calling this cheap.

In plain English: Sylvamo makes paper and pulp used for printing, copying, books, and business forms, with operations in Europe, Latin America, and North America. The business looks weak right now because sales and profits have fallen and it lost money in the first half of fiscal 2026. At $32.17, the price looks close to fair based on the numbers given, not clearly cheap.
