Q3 Paper Outlook — Beaten to a Pulp

"It appears that we are now at the bottom of the cycle, but people have said that before and prices have continued to turn down," Hilliker continues. "By all measurements, it looks as if paper prices will likely be stagnant for a quarter or two before turning up or may start turning up even sooner. We're not expecting a dramatic upturn in either demand or pricing, but we definitely don't expect to see any further declines."
