Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Smurfit Westrock Plc
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $10 to $42 on an EV/EBITDA of 7.0x our 2026 EBITDA estimate, a discount to the peer average of 9.8x, but above SW's limited trading history average of 7.0x over the past year to reflect synergy target achievements. We cut our 2026 EPS view by $0.73 to $2.30 and cut 2027 EPS by $0.54 to $3.20. Q1 results reflected significant cost inflation, with energy costs increasing by $200M and freight costs increasing by $50M based on the current price outlook for FY 2026. The largest positive was the surge in demand in March and April, with SW selling out of nearly all paper grades near-term and allowing price increases to be realized for Q2 this year. We believe the $50 per ton containerboard increase YTD ($20 in Q1 & $30 in April) will drive revenue higher in 2H 2026, with Europe costs potentially increasing by EUR100 per ton as well. We note that North America volumes were down 7.4% in Q1 with a better outlook for the remainder of FY 2026.

DAX Index Falls; German Manufacturing Growth Slows
German shares lost on Monday after returning from the Labor Day holiday, with investors assessing the latest business survey data on local factory activity against escalating tensions in the Middle East and fresh tariff threats from the US.At close, the blue-chip DAX index was down 1.24%.According to S&P Global, the final Germany manufacturing PMI slipped to 51.4 in April from the 46-month high of 52.2 in the previous month, above the flash estimate of 51.2. The sector's expansion slowed as new orders and production growth were offset by "darkening" business outlook amid the ongoing Middle East conflict."Reflecting growing concerns about both demand and supply-side conditions, businesses expecting activity to fall in the coming year now outweigh those anticipating a rise. There are worries that surging inflation pressures and the associated squeeze on purchasing power will stifle demand, with factory gate price inflation jumping sharply to its highest in over three years in April. At the same time, with supply delays already at a level not seen since mid-2022, there is a risk that production could be scaled back regardless of the demand situation," S&P Global Market Intelligence economics associate director Phil Smith said.Speaking of the Middle East conflict, Iran's navy claimed to have turned back a US warship at the Strait of Hormuz after allegedly striking it with two missiles while sailing near the port of Jask. Reuters, citing state media, reported that Tehran warned foreign navies of a "decisive response" if they enter the strait. The report comes as US President Donald Trump said Sunday that Washington plans to assist neutral commercial vessels stranded in the waterway.On the tariff front, Trump announced on May 1, 2026, that he would increase levies on European Union-made vehicles to 25% from 15% starting this week, asserting that the bloc failed to comply with the July 2025 trade framework. The US President told reporters the move is intended to force European brands to onshore production more quickly.Against this backdrop, German automotive companies Mercedes-Benz Group (MBG.F), BMW (BMW.F), Volkswagen (VOW.F) and Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAH3.F) lost 3.35%, 2.44%, 2.22% and 0.94%, respectively, on Xetra.Meanwhile, Siemens Energy (ENR.F) fell 2.09%, as the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism announced that the German energy technology company plans to invest 155 million euros in two projects in the country, including an initiative involving transformer production and the development of a new service plant.

Key for Bank of Canada Rate Hikes Are Economy, CUSMA Negotiations, Says Commerzbank
Two factors are likely to be decisive on when the Bank of Canada will hike interest rates, said Commerzbank.First, is whether the Canadian real economy will finally pick up again in the second half of the year, including a stronger labor market, the bank wrote.The situation at the end of last year was basically a repetition of the year before that. Once again, Commerzbank saw unexpectedly strong job growth. This is all the more remarkable given that labor supply is currently rising by only a few thousand per month. As a consequence, the unemployment rate has fallen by 0.4 percentage point.However, in recent months, significantly more jobs have been cut again, which underscores the volatility of the Canadian labor market over the past year and a half, stated the bank. Other data continues to show only a weak recovery, if any: while month-on-month growth is positive again, it remains at a very low level.In addition, the purchasing managers' indices (PMIs) are highly volatile, despite the key index for the manufacturing sector rising significantly in April. The performance of the Canadian real economy is also likely to depend heavily on developments in the United States, where strong growth is evident, although with a less robust labor market.Secondly, the outcome of the negotiations on extending the USMCA trade agreement, which are set to begin in July, will also be "crucial," pointed out Commerzbank. While the U.S. president regularly emphasizes that Canada would benefit most from an extension, given the mutual dependencies, extending a large proportion of the exemptions is likely to be in both countries' interests.For Canada, however, the state of bilateral relations is more important than the exact scope of the exemptions, added the bank. Only once there is sustained stabilization is the Canadian real economy likely to recover.This was evident in January, when Canadian PMIs plummeted again following another verbal attack by the U.S. president, mirroring the trend in job creation.The BoC made clear last week that it's in no hurry to raise interest rates, as the current level of the policy rate is appropriate for the foreseeable future. Commerzbank continues to view expectations of two rate hikes by the end of the year as ambitious.
