Shares of Sylvamo (SLVM) plummeted 5.69% in Wednesday's trading session following the release of its Q4 2024 earnings report and guidance for the first quarter of 2025. The company's stock tumbled as investors reacted to the lackluster financial performance and muted outlook.
For the fourth quarter, Sylvamo reported net income of $81 million, adjusted EBITDA of $157 million, and segment operating profit of $109 million. While the company generated $100 million in free cash flow, its sales for the quarter came in at $970 million, which fell short of market expectations.
Looking ahead, Sylvamo warned that its adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 is expected to range between $85 million and $105 million, reflecting the impact of seasonality and ongoing challenges in realizing higher prices. This subdued guidance, coupled with the disappointing Q4 results, weighed on investor sentiment, leading to the significant sell-off in the stock.
