2026) than offset a 3-4% secular demand decline. As we’ve note in prior research (link), the UCFS

Stock Rating BUY operating rate in April stood at ~92.4% per Fastmarkets RISI and is likely to head higher as PM16 at International Paper’s (IP, Buy) Riverdale mill in Selma, AL (~350k tons nameplate Unchanged

Price Target $54.00 company begins to convert it to containerboard. This follows the closure of Pixelle’s (private)

Unchanged Chillicothe, OH mill (~400k tons nameplate capacity; ~7% of North American capacity) last

year. Over time, there is the potential for further capacity rationalization should IP decide to

fully convert its recently purchased NORPAC mill to recycled containerboard. Meanwhile,

SLVM has solid order books with an operating rate of 90%+.
