How Is International Paper’s Stock Performance Compared to Other Timber Stocks?

International Paper Company (IP) transforms renewable resources into essential, everyday products that sustain the global economy. As a global leader in fiber-based solutions, the company designs packaging that protects and showcases goods, supports worldwide commerce, and helps keep consumers safe. It also produces renewable materials such as pulp used in diapers, tissue, and other personal care products, while advancing circular solutions that promote recycling, cut waste, and support a more sustainable future.

The Tennessee-based company currently carries a market capitalization of about $20.4 billion, placing it firmly in “large-cap” territory, well above the $10 billion benchmark. Strengthening its global footprint, International Paper made a transformative move in 2025 with the acquisition of DS Smith, creating an industry heavyweight with a strong focus on the fast-growing North American and EMEA markets.
