What the Analysts think about IPC
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for International Paper Company stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of International Paper Company stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Price increases are beginning to lift North American earnings: favourable price and mix added $141 million in Q3, when the segment’s adjusted EBITDA rose 56% from Q2 to $663 million. This helped drive a broad improvement in group profitability. (The Motley Fool)
Operational improvements could support further gains: Q3 benefited from better mill performance, lower outage costs and the Riverdale conversion, alongside a full quarter of NORPAC earnings. Management expects productivity and NORPAC synergies to keep contributing. (PR Newswire, The Motley Fool)
Separating the EMEA business could give investors two more focused packaging companies and make its value easier to assess. International Paper is advancing a spin-off while also evaluating a potential sale, and plans to retain about 20% of DS Smith if it is spun off. (The Motley Fool)
Demand remains soft: North American box shipments fell about 2% year on year in Q3, while EMEA volumes also weakened. Management expects challenging market conditions to persist into 2027. (PR Newswire, The Motley Fool)
Inflation is eroding the earnings outlook: International Paper cut its 2026 North American adjusted EBITDA forecast after identifying about $145 million of new headwinds, led by diesel and distribution costs. Higher input costs are expected to remain a drag in Q4. (The Motley Fool)
EMEA remains a major weakness: the segment posted a $73 million operating loss in Q3 and International Paper recorded a $1.38 billion goodwill impairment against it. The write-down highlights the scale of the reset in expectations for the business. (PR Newswire)
