Packaging Corporation of America Delivers Solid Q3 2025 Amid Integration of Greif Acquisition

Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, posting reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of 2.51, compared to 2.64 in the same quarter of 2024. Excluding special items related to the integration of Greif’s containerboard business and the closure of some corrugated plants, adjusted EPS stood at 2.73. The company generated total revenue of approximately 2.29 billion dollars, reflecting resilience amid softer shipment volumes in the packaging segment. Operating income in the packaging division reached 327.5 million dollars, supported by improved price and mix effects.

PCA remains optimistic about steady demand and improved efficiencies heading into 2026.
