International Paper Company (IP) Q3 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
International Paper beats Q3 earnings estimates as North American profits rebound, but lower volumes, EMEA weakness and negative free cash flow weigh on results.
IP expects Q3 earnings to improve sequentially as lower maintenance costs, price increases and cost-saving initiatives offset rising input expenses.
Six industrial giants are selling off divisions while keeping payouts high, and the cash flow numbers behind those yields tell a very different story than the headline percentages suggest.
International Paper Company faces ongoing operational and strategic challenges, with shares down 32% over two years despite revenue gains from the DS Smith acquisition. Recent financials show plateaued revenue, margin pressure, and significant outage costs; both NA and EMEA segments underperformed, with EMEA notably disappointing. IP's guidance suggests a second-half EBITDA recovery, but execution risk is high, and consensus estimates have been consistently missed, leading to volatile earnings reactions.
International Paper may be close to selling off its European business. The rumored sale price would amount to a huge loss over the price IP paid for the business just two years ago.
