Bulls say

International Paper has demonstrated a consistent improvement in its operational efficiency, as evidenced by the increase in certified fiber purchases from 26.0% in 2010 to 38.3% in 2019, alongside ongoing productivity enhancements in its box plants. The company is actively pursuing self-help initiatives and a focused capital allocation strategy to streamline operations and drive profitable growth, which is expected to benefit its performance and profitability significantly. With a strong free cash flow generation and anticipated stabilization in earnings per share trends, International Paper is well-positioned for a transformational shift in 2025, potentially leading to accelerated growth and improved market standing.

Bears say

The negative outlook on International Paper's stock is attributed to a considerable decline in daily box shipments, which fell 11% year-over-year, along with lower containerboard and fluff pulp volumes that were significantly below estimates, indicating deteriorating demand in the North American market. Furthermore, risks such as input cost volatility, increasing leverage, and potential execution failures raise concerns about the company's operational efficiency and financial stability. The revenue for North America also missed expectations, reported at $3,539 million compared to a forecast of $3,641 million, reflecting the broader challenges facing the company in maintaining its market position amid economic uncertainties.
