Jefferies said Mondi had outperformed this last month, off a depressed level after walking away from SMDS merger and benefiting from higher volume and P&P pricing sentiment.
"One-off FX impact weighed on 1Q24 and 2024 upgrades, but with stable CE wood costs, improving order books and higher pricing to be realised from 2Q24 onwards, we think it's too soon to step away, given EBITDA upside risk if second targeted price hikes into 3Q24 are achieved," said the analysts.
