Smurfit Westrock (IE00028FXN24) traded at EUR 36.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, while Jefferies adjusted its target from USD 58.00 to USD 62.00 on October 13, 2026. The target revision was reported by MarketScreener.

Jefferies target meets weaker earnings

The higher Jefferies target followed a quarter with USD 8.03 billion in revenue and USD 89 million in net income. Business Wire reported those second-quarter 2026 figures together with adjusted EBITDA of USD 1.14 billion and operating cash flow of USD 765 million.

The earnings mix gives the target move a more demanding context. Net income represented 1.11 percent of second-quarter revenue, while adjusted EBITDA represented 14.20 percent, leaving margins and cash conversion central to the valuation discussion.

What does the target change mean?

Jefferies moved its target USD 4.00 higher, an increase of 6.90 percent from USD 58.00. The new USD 62.00 target is 52.01 percent above the EUR 36.10 Lang & Schwarz price only if currencies are ignored, so no cross-currency upside calculation is used here.

Three dated signals shape the setup
