Magnera Corporation: Executing But Abandoned

Summary Magnera Corporation is executing well post-merger, integrating operations, growing earnings, and reducing leverage in the nonwoven industry. MAGN trades at 5.5x FY26E EBITDA versus peers at 9x, with a ~20% FCF yield, highlighting a significant valuation disconnect. Management expects FY26 EBITDA towards the low end of $380–410m and FCF of $90–110m, with potential for >$400m EBITDA and $120m FCF in FY27.
