Earnings call transcript: Clearwater Paper Q3 2026 miss sends shares lower
What it means
- What to watch: When results fall short, the real drama often starts with the analysts revising their forecasts — and that’s where the real action is.
- How the stock is trading: $CLW -6.69% in the latest session.
- Timing: It landed after the closing bell, so the session change beside it was locked in before the story existed. The next session is the first that could react.
Where the stock stands
$CLW last changed hands at $18.00, -6.69% on the session, 24% below its 52-week high of $23.59 and 53% above its low of $11.73 — around the middle of the range. Over the year it has ranged 101% from low to high: a very wide band; big swings are routine for this one, not news. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices — the live tape is on the $CLW page.

How this analysis was made
Investing.com published it, and Wook filed it under Earnings. It reads bearish at medium severity because of “miss” in the wording, with nothing on the bullish side to offset it. It was matched to $CLW. The publisher gave no preview text, and nothing has been written in to fill the gap.
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI, no crystal ball — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
