<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Smurfit Westrock was formed by the merger of two major paper and packaging industry players, Smurfit Kappa and WestRock, on Jul 5, 2024. With the completion of the merger, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, Smurfit Westrock stated that the reported results pertain to Smurfit Kappa Group plc and not to WestRock. Results for the combined company will be reported from the third quarter of 2024.
Net income was $132 million (51 cents per share), down 51% from $267 million in the year-ago quarter. This was primarily due to lower sales and transaction-related expenses of $60 million associated with the Smurfit Westrock combination, which was partially offset by a $12 million decrease in the costs of goods sold attributed to lower raw material and energy costs.&nbsp;
Net sales declined 3.5% year over year to around $3 billion. The top line lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.9 billion (which included revenues from WestRock). Smurfit Kappa witnessed a 3.1% increase in corrugated volumes. On a shipments per day basis, volume growth was 1.1%. A net positive foreign currency impact of $28 million and a $4 million positive contribution from acquisitions aided revenues. However, these gains were offset by lower average box pricing in the European business.
The cost of sales was down 0.5% year over year to $2.28 billion. The gross profit declined 12% year over year to $693 million. The adjusted EBITDA was $480 million, down 13.7% from the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.2%, lower than 18.1% in the year-ago quarter.
<h3>Segment Performances</h3>
Sales in Europe were down 6% year over year to $2.2 billion. Corrugated volume growth was 3.5% in Europe, which was offset by lower prices. The segment&#39;s adjusted EBITDA fell 18% year over year to $355 million due to the lower net sales and higher labor, distribution and recovered fiber costs, partially offset by a decrease in energy and other raw material costs.
Sales in the Americas were reported at $0.76 billion, up 5% year over year. Corrugated volume growth was reported to be 1.5%. &nbsp;
The segment&#39;s adjusted EBITDA rose 4% year over year to $146 million on higher net sales, partially offset by elevated raw materials and labor costs.
<h3>Cash Position &amp; Balance Sheet Updates</h3>
Smurfit Westrock had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $3.3 billion at the end of the second quarter compared with $1 billion as of the end of 2023. The company reported a total debt of $6 billion at the end of the second quarter compared with $3.7 billion at the end of 2023.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $340 million compared with $307 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted free cash flow was $186 million compared with $83 million in the year-ago quarter.&nbsp;
The company had previously announced a quarterly dividend of 30.25 cents per share.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of Smurfit WestRock have lost 9.3% since it made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Jul 8, 2024, compared with the industry&#39;s 0.3% dip.

<h3>Performances of Peers in Q2</h3>
International Paper Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ip#NYSE">IP</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings of 55 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents by 38%. The bottom line declined 7% year over year due to lower year-over-year prices in both the Industrial Packaging and Global Cellulose Fibers segments.&nbsp;
International Paper&#39;s net sales were around $4.7 billion, up 1% from the year-ago quarter as higher volumes were offset by lower prices. The top line missed the consensus estimate of $4.8 billion. IP currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.&nbsp;
Stora Enso Oyj (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/seoay#OTC">SEOAY</a>) reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of 8 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents.

Stora Enso&#39;s net sales were $2.48 billion, down 4% from the year-ago quarter. Sales declined mainly due to structural changes. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.

Smurfit Westrock Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates, Sales Dip Y/Y

If you&#39;re interested in broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market, look no further than the JPMorgan Diversified Return U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF (ARCA:JPME), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 05/11/2016.
The fund is sponsored by J.P. Morgan. It has amassed assets over $420.30 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
<h2>Why Mid Cap Blend</h2>
Compared to large and small cap companies, mid cap businesses tend to have higher growth prospects and are less volatile, respectively, with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.
Blend ETFs are aptly named, since they tend to hold a mix of growth and value stocks, as well as show characteristics of both kinds of equities.
<h2>Costs</h2>
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.24%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.78%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector--about 12.30% of the portfolio. Financials and Real Estate round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Vistra Corp Common Stock (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vst#NYSE">VST</a>)&nbsp;accounts for about 0.65% of total assets, followed by Tenet Healthcare Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/thc#NYSE">THC</a>) and International Paper Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ip#NYSE">IP</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 5.04% of total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
JPME seeks to match the performance of the Russell Midcap Diversified Factor Index before fees and expenses. The JP Morgan Diversified Factor US Mid Cap Equity Index utilizes a rules-based approach that combines risk-based portfolio construction with multi-factor security selection, including value, quality and momentum factors.
The ETF has gained about 10.33% so far this year and it&#39;s up approximately 13.09% in the last one year (as of 07/31/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $79.30 and $100.65.
The ETF has a beta of 1.04 and standard deviation of 16.74% for the trailing three-year period. With about 366 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
JPMorgan Diversified Return U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, JPME is a reasonable option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Mid Cap Blend area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (ARCA:VO) and the iShares Core S&amp;P Mid-Cap ETF (ARCA:IJH) track a similar index. While Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF has $65.69 billion in assets, iShares Core S&amp;P Mid-Cap ETF has $88.19 billion. VO has an expense ratio of 0.04% and IJH charges 0.05%.
<h2>Bottom-Line</h2>
While an excellent vehicle for long term investors, passively managed ETFs are a popular choice among institutional and retail investors due to their low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.68 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
