WestRock (NYSE:WRK), the American corrugated packaging company, has seen fluctuating investments as shares are bought up by
Mirae Asset Global Investments Co. Ltd and
GSA Capital Partners, and then sold by
Nomura Holdings Inc. and
Vanguard Group Inc.. The company's financial opacity has led to questions surrounding its share price momentum. Despite this uncertainty,
WestRock has surpassed Q2 earnings estimates, however, they have only reported a modest profit for fiscal Q2 with $0.39 EPS. Notably, the company has taken a major financial risk with its use of debt. Despite facing market challenges,
WestRock has announced a shareholder-approved merger with
Smurfit Kappa, aiding its rise in the stock market. Amidst these developments,
WestRock also announced the quarterly dividend of $0.3025 per share. The recent $11 billion merger deal is perceived to make
WestRock a packaging leader and its first virtual power purchase agreement project has just reached commercialization. However, the company did face a setback, with the President of Corrugated Packaging selling off shares, and a reported plant closure in North Carolina leading to layoffs.
