International Paper Company has seen its shares fall nearly 32% over the past two years despite revenue gains from acquiring DS Smith. The company faces ongoing challenges including plateaued revenue, margin pressure, and costly outages, with underperformance in both North America and EMEA regions. While management expects EBITDA to recover in the second half of the year, execution risks remain high and past earnings estimates have been missed, causing volatile market reactions. Investors await clearer plans on EMEA divestiture and sustainable margin improvements in North American packaging before considering a long-term hold.
