Price upside for SUZ is structurally capped by expanded Chinese hardwood pulp capacity kick-in and softwood substitution, limiting acceleration of deleveraging. Operational improvements—hedges, reduced downtime, and sourcing deals—should lower cash costs and support improvements, deleveraging now at ~3% per quarter.
Suzano NYSE: SUZ reported second-quarter 2026 results marked by stronger free cash flow, higher pulp prices and improved paper sales volumes, while geopolitical volatility, inflation in oil-linked inputs and maintenance-related disruptions weighed on costs and operations.

Suzano S.A. is progressing with deleveraging, but at a slower pace than ideal due to excess CapEx and buybacks. Net debt reduction would have been approximately 5% in Q1 absent excess CapEx and buybacks, but actual reduction was closer to 2%. Suzano benefits from substantial input cost hedging and high fixed-rate debt exposure, mitigating capital cost risks and Brent price volatility, buying margins time despite Hormuz.
