Valmet stock (ISIN FI4000074984) was trading at EUR 26.74 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 12:22 p.m. CEST. Valmet said on October 12, 2026, that Anhui Linping Circular Development had selected it to deliver a complete board making line in China. The order value was not disclosed.

China line targets 2028

The PM 9 line is designed for lightweight fluting and liner grades. Its delivery includes the board machine, automation, lifecycle support, spare parts, digital services and paper machine clothing, while startup is scheduled for 2028, according to Yahoo Finance.

The project extends an existing customer relationship and places equipment sales alongside recurring services. That combination matters because Valmet's investor framework targets 5 percent organic growth, a 15 percent comparable EBITA margin and 20 percent return on capital employed by 2030.

What does the order add?

Valmet's investor page lists EUR 5.2 billion in net sales, EUR 5.2 billion in orders received, an 11.9 percent comparable EBITA margin and adjusted earnings per share of EUR 1.82 for fiscal year 2025. Those figures give the China project a clear scale reference even though its individual value was withheld.

Three dated company steps

On September 29, 2026, Valmet confirmed a second dividend installment of EUR 0.67 per share. On October 2, 2026, the company corrected the payment date to October 8, 2026. On October 12, 2026, it announced the PM 9 board line for China with startup scheduled for 2028.

Reporting date is October 28, 2026

Valmet's next interim review, covering January through September 2026, is scheduled for October 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EET. The results webcast follows at 9:30 a.m. EET, according to the company's investor calendar.

Stock stays tied to execution

The China project strengthens Valmet's equipment and service connection, but the long implementation period leaves execution as the measurable follow-through point. The 2025 margin and the 2030 margin target show the size of the profitability step management is pursuing.
