Truist reaffirms a buy rating for Packaging Corporation of America and highlights the company as an industry leader with strong pricing power. The acquisition of GEF’s corrugated raw-paper business expands capacity and provides upside beyond the $60 million synergy target; the dividend was most recently increased by 20%. Positive demand trends and announced price increases (each $50/ton) should offset rising input costs and could add roughly $290 million of annualized EBITDA for Packaging Corporation for every $50/ton increase. » Mais em de.investing.com
