Greif Q3 Review: Slightly Overpriced, But I Got My Eyes On It

Greif Inc. posted mixed Q3 results, with standout performance in Polymer Solutions but continued weakness in Sustainable Fiber Solutions. Management raised FY26 Adj EBITDA guidance to $615–$635 million and reiterated free cash flow guidance, reflecting improved cost discipline and confidence. Polymer Solutions benefited from volume growth, pricing power, and the recent Envaplast acquisition; Fiber Solutions remains a drag, with flat volumes expected.
