Smurfit WestRock plc (SW): Next-Year EPS Estimate 51.70%
As of 2026-08-25, Smurfit WestRock plc (SW) has a next-year EPS growth estimate of 51.70%. Featured in our EPS revision report on 2026-07-24.
On 2026-08-25, analyst consensus for SW's next-year EPS growth shifted from 50.14% to 51.70% — a positive change of 1.56 percentage points. Current-year growth is projected at 10.87%.
What's Driving This
The primary driver is the upward revision to next-year EPS growth estimates, which analysts raised from 48.16% to 51.70% after an initial downgrade, with momentum persisting across two sessions. The announced second wave of containerboard price increases in 2026 plausibly supports this upgrade by signaling stronger pricing power, though no explicit earnings beat or guidance raise is cited. The trend has continued beyond the initial revision, reflecting sustained analyst confidence.
