International Paper Company, established in 1898 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, functions as a leading global packaging enterprise. Its extensive operational footprint spans the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific Rim, Asia, and various other regions across the Americas. The company's business activities are structured into two principal divisions: Industrial Packaging and Global Cellulose Fibers. The Industrial Packaging segment is dedicated to producing a diverse range of containerboards, which encompass linerboard, medium, whitetop, recycled linerboard, recycled medium, and saturating kraft. Concurrently, the Global Cellulose Fibers division supplies fluff, market, and specialized pulps. These pulps are integral components for a wide array of products, including absorbent hygiene items such as baby diapers, feminine care, and adult incontinence products, alongside other non-woven goods, and traditional tissue and paper products. Additionally, they find application in numerous non-absorbent sectors like textiles, filtration systems, building materials, paints and protective coatings, reinforced plastics, and various other industrial uses. International Paper distributes its products directly to ultimate consumers and converters, as well as through an established network of agents, resellers, and paper distributors.

Company snapshotDescriptive peer comparisonScore date: Sep 22, 2026Historical snapshot
All scores in this Scorecard describe relative characteristics as of the shown date, using historical market data and reported company information; higher scores on the 0–100 scale indicate more favorable characteristics in the relevant comparison group, and none forecasts future performance.
Scores are relative comparisons, not absolute grades: companies with different coverage may be scored on different inputs. Peer positions and input coverage can differ by factor; use the displayed comparison group and date when comparing readings. An 80 is not an 80% chance of a price rise. These scores are not price forecasts or recommendations.
The rank with complete inputs compares only companies with every input for that factor, using the issued scores. Equal partial coverage percentages do not establish matching inputs. Current stockwide snapshots use matching input groups; older snapshots may use a smaller fixed group. Scores do not separately adjust for industry or company size. Growth readings do not establish multi-year persistence or separate share-count effects from EPS growth. Scores are independent of the selected forecast horizon.

Company comparison
Compare company metrics only when their currency, observation date and reporting periods agree. Similar companies are starting points for research, not substitutes for each other.
12-month forecasts show model median estimates (P50), with changes from each forecast’s starting price. Headline scores describe dated company characteristics; they do not predict future performance.
