SCA (ISIN SE0000112724) became the subject of a higher UBS valuation on October 19, 2026, when the bank lifted its price target from SEK 111.00 to SEK 125.00 and retained a Neutral rating, according to MarketScreener. The move comes before SCA publishes its third-quarter report on October 23, 2026.

Target rises before results

UBS set the new target at SEK 125.00, compared with the previous SEK 111.00, while keeping its Neutral stance. The change gives investors a fresh benchmark ahead of the next operating update, but the rating itself remains cautious.

SCA's latest interim figures show the pressure that the third-quarter report must address. For the first half of 2026, net sales fell to SEK 9,893 million from SEK 10,541 million in the first half of 2025, while EBITDA declined to SEK 2,410 million from SEK 3,684 million, according to SCA's investor-relations material.

What does the next report add?

The scheduled report will update the market on sales, earnings and pricing after SCA announced a Kraftliner price increase of EUR 100 per tonne on August 6, 2026. The increase applied to all Kraftliner grades in Europe from September 1, 2026, according to SCA.

Three dates shaped the setup

On July 22, 2026, SCA reported first-half net sales of SEK 9,893 million and EBITDA of SEK 2,410 million. On August 6, 2026, it announced the EUR 100 per tonne Kraftliner increase. On October 19, 2026, UBS raised its target to SEK 125.00 from SEK 111.00, making the analyst revision the latest event.

Reporting dates ahead

SCA's next two scheduled milestones are the third-quarter interim report on October 23, 2026, and the fourth-quarter report on January 29, 2027, according to the company's investor-relations calendar.
