Clearwater Paper (CLW) Q2 Revenue Up 14%
Clearwater Paper (NYSE:CLW), a major U.S. paperboard packaging supplier, released its second quarter 2025 results on July 29, 2025. The report showed GAAP revenue increase of 14% to $392 million in Q2 2025, compared to $344 million in Q2 2024. However, this was $5 million below analyst expectations for GAAP revenue. Earnings per share from continuing operations (GAAP) reached $0.22 in Q2 2025, versus a loss of $2.50 in Q2 2024, but missed the $0.70 GAAP consensus estimate. The period saw sharply improved operational results, but lower average prices kept margins under pressure. The quarter reflected clear progress since last year, yet the inability to meet market forecasts for GAAP EPS and revenue, along with sustained industry headwinds, capped performance.
