Mercer International makes and sells market pulp, a key raw material used to make paper, tissue, packaging, and other fiber-based products. It also produces lumber and generates renewable energy from wood-based operations. Its factories turn wood into pulp and related products that other manufacturers use further down the supply chain.
Its main customers are paper and tissue makers, packaging companies, and industrial buyers that need pulp or lumber. Mercer earns money by selling these products into global commodity markets, so its results depend on supply, demand, and prices for wood fiber, pulp, and lumber. It also benefits from selling power and other byproducts created at its mills.
What makes Mercer’s business different is that it sits between forestry and finished paper products. It controls a capital-heavy industrial process that starts with wood and ends with standardized raw materials, rather than branded consumer goods. That makes it a classic upstream materials business, with performance tied to operating its mills efficiently and matching production to market demand.

Stock intrinsic value is the real worth of a company's stock, based on its financial health and performance.
Instead of looking at the stock's current market price, which can change due to people's opinions and emotions, intrinsic value helps us understand if a stock is truly a good deal or not.
By focusing on the company's actual financial strength, like its earnings and debts, we can make better decisions about which stocks to buy and when.
