Suzano S.A. (ISIN US86959K1051) was last at USD 8.43 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.82 percent for the session. The Brazilian pulp producer is entering October with higher announced pulp prices in the Americas and Europe, a development reported by Rio Times on September 24, 2026.
October prices move higher
Suzano confirmed an increase of USD 50 per tonne for the Americas and Europe and USD 20 per tonne for China and other Asian markets, effective October 2026, according to Rio Times. The European list price reached USD 1,360 per tonne, although posted prices can differ from realized transaction prices because buyers negotiate discounts.
The regional increase matters because pulp sales are priced in US dollars while much of Suzano's cost base is in Brazilian reais. For the stock, the important test is whether buyers accept the higher list prices through the quarter rather than merely whether the announcement is made.
Quarterly numbers show the tradeoff
MarketBeat reported quarterly revenue of USD 2.24 billion and EPS of USD 0.28 for Suzano's latest reported quarter. The same report cited a net margin of 17.20 percent and return on equity of 14.92 percent, giving investors a profitability counterweight to the weaker share price.
The stock's USD 8.43 price sits 26.95 percent below its 52-week high of USD 11.54 and 11.66 percent above its 52-week low of USD 7.55, based on the October 5 quote. Trading volume reached 7,110,281 shares, compared with an average volume of 2,965,285 shares.
Analysts see more upside
Bank of America raised Suzano from Neutral to Buy and lifted its price target from USD 10 to USD 13 in an August 24, 2026 report, according to MarketBeat. The USD 13 target lies 54.21 percent above the October 5 price.
MarketBeat said four analysts made up the consensus, with two Buy and two Sell ratings producing a Hold label and an average target of USD 13.20. That target lies 56.58 percent above the NYSE price, while the split ratings show that expectations remain divided even as pulp pricing improves.
