What the Analysts think about IP
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for International Paper stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of International Paper stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
North American operations are improving: Q2 box volumes rose 1.7% year on year and mill performance improved by about 500 basis points. That gives IP a stronger base to benefit if demand recovers. (Packaging Dive)
Pricing is starting to firm: September data recorded increases of $70 per ton for linerboard and $100 per ton for medium, following IP’s $80-per-ton hike. If these gains hold, they could support margins despite subdued volumes. (Packaging Dive)
IP reports more than $200 million of run-rate savings from EMEA restructuring, while the planned spin-off could give its regional businesses a clearer focus. (Packaging Dive)
Demand is weaker than management expected: IP now sees flat North American demand in the second half, and Q2 North American packaging sales fell to $3.69 billion from $3.86 billion a year earlier. (Packaging Dive, Reuters)
EMEA remains a drag: its Q2 operating loss widened to $80 million from $51 million in Q1 as weak market volumes and consumer sentiment weighed on results. (International Paper)
Margins face sustained cost pressure: IP cut its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to $3.2–$3.4 billion from $3.5–$3.7 billion. Higher maintenance and conversion costs, rising recovered-fibre and freight costs, and an $85 million mill-closure hit all weigh on the outlook. (International Paper)
