Metsä Board is a manufacturing company active in the paper and pulp industry. The company is a manufacturer of cartons made of forest fiber. The products are used for consumer and food products. In addition to the production of cartons, the company offers services related to technical analysis and design development. The company is most active in the European market. Metsä Board´s head office is located in Espoo, Finland.

That certainly has a major impact on fiber availability regionally – at least around here, a lot of good forest was blown down. Especially as prices are high at the same time and that wood wouldn’t be sold otherwise. It definitely belongs in the investment discussion for companies that buy wood, even if it has drifted a bit into subjective topics.

Is UPM’s share price turning around? UPM’s share price has turned upward. The rise is supported by technical analysis, but analysts also view the outlook as favorable. Investtech, which focuses on technical analysis, estimates in its morning report that forest industry company UPM’s share price has broken through the resistance line of a downward trend.                   SalkunRakentaja – 14 Jan 26              Tekeekö UPM:n osake käänteen?    UPM:n osake on kääntynyt nousuun. Nousu saa tukea teknisestä analyysistä, mutta myös analyytikot näkevät näkymät suosiollisina.

It reflects the company’s difficulties quite well:   Risk of long-term overcapacity in products   The price of raw timber is too high in Finland, despite the downturn   Raw timber prices in Finland will rise immediately if the cycle picks up, unless Russian wood becomes available.   The main owner wants their dividends in the price of raw timber, i.e., they hope wood continues to get more expensive   Personally, I have always stayed away from this company.

That’s quite a significant target price change, even in Varis’s opinion  https://x.com/JuhaVaris/status/2011671229548134824     Stock price right now:

The paywalled article reviews the industry’s outlook and considers when the upswing will begin. The bottom has been reached and, for example, pulp prices have even risen from the trough, and overcapacity is not the major issue right now (though cardboard is still a question of its own). Additionally, structural rearrangements have started to occur, and more are likely on the way. A large-scale turnaround will only happen, however, once the global economy gains momentum. This, in turn, is influenced by factors such as geopolitics, Trump’s antics, achieving a sensible peace in Ukraine, etc. So, in practice, a significant cyclical turn in the forest industry is largely in geopolitical hands, and there is good reason for industry professionals and forest company owners to follow global developments specifically.                   Talouselämä – 12 Jan 26              Surkeasti pärjänneiden metsäyhtiöiden kurssit kääntyivät nousuun:...    Metsäyhtiöiden osakekurssit ovat toipuneet pohjista. OP:n seniorianalyytikko Henri Parkkinen avaa UPM:n, Stora Enson ja Metsä Boardin kannalta oleelliset asiat juuri nyt.

So, energy wood consumption is approx. 5 million m3 per year. A little-discussed, potentially positive factor for forest companies in Finland is the possible or even likely decline in demand for energy wood in the coming years. A significant number of electric boilers are already in operation, and investments seem to be continuing. Industrial-scale heat pumps have also entered the picture, and players like Polar Night Energy are introducing new solutions.                   Yle Uutiset – 24 Oct 25              Puunpolton buumi taittui – kaukolämpöä tehdään nyt yhä enemmän sähköllä ja...    Useissa Kaakkois-Suomen kaupungeissa vähennetään jo reilusti puun polttoa kaukolämmön tuotannossa.                                               Yle Uutiset – 17 Dec 25              Kahden tamperelaismiehen keksintö on ratkaisu puhtaan energian vaikeimpaan...    Tamperelaiskaverukset panivat tuuli- ja aurinkosähkön lämmittämään hiekkakasaa. Syntyi poikkeuksellinen keksintö ja kasvava yritys, joka kiinnostaa nyt ympäri maailman.                             The utilization of waste heat from data centers and other industrial sources is also becoming more common. Italian plastic waste has been identified as an alternative raw material for district heating produced through incineration.                   Helsingin Sanomat – 24 Mar 25              Jätebisnes | Suomeen rahdataan tonneittain jätteitä toiselta puolelta...    Vantaan energian uuneissa poltetaan italialaisten roskia. Yhtiön mukaan jätteiden tuominen kannattaa, sillä se tuo rahaa ja ilmastohyötyjä.                             This is bound to have an impact. I can’t say what the situation is in Sweden, but I’d venture to assume the development is at least somewhat similar. Within 3–5 years, the use of energy wood could have already decreased significantly, and the downward trend may appear even sooner. I’m following this with interest. I can’t estimate how much the price of wood could drop, but I see this as a clear positive driver.

Pulp prices have risen, and it seems there isn’t enough BCTMP (bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp) on the market. In pulps, unbleached (UKP) is suffering more from overcapacity than bleached (NBSK). Metsä Group, and by extension Metsä Board, produces this NBSK pulp for the market. So, this and the situation with BCTMP are naturally positive for Board; however, China is difficult due to its location—the sea voyage is long. Below is a text snippet from AI regarding the price difference (NBSK) China vs. us. NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft) pulp prices vary significantly by region. Recent data (trends for late 2025/early 2026) show prices in the United States are around $1,550 per tonne, in Europe around $1,495 per tonne, and much lower in China (around $665 per tonne), reflecting regional supply and demand as well as transportation costs. Key factors influencing price fluctuations include supply disruptions, delivery issues, and shifts in demand from major consumers like China, leading to significant price gaps between major markets and spot/contract prices. Board has double the trouble: US tariffs are taking away market share, and China is overproducing board, even exporting it to Europe, despite Chinese mills operating under capacity. Europe would be a natural market for Metsä Board. China’s overproduction of commodities has become a global problem; a solution to this issue should be found together with the US.
