International Paper stock (ISIN US4601461035) was trading at EUR 29.90 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 11:59 a.m. CEST, unchanged versus the prior close of EUR 29.90. The next measurable catalyst is the company's scheduled third-quarter earnings release on October 28, 2026.

October 28 sets the next test

According to Yahoo Finance on September 24, 2026, International Paper will publish its third-quarter results before the opening of the New York Stock Exchange and host a webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET.

That date follows a mixed second quarter. MarketBeat reported that International Paper delivered USD 0.04 earnings per share in Q2 2026, beating the USD 0.04 consensus loss by USD 0.08. Revenue reached USD 6.0 billion but fell 11.3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier and trailed the USD 6.19 billion consensus estimate.

Argus keeps a USD 45 target

MarketBeat said Argus reissued its Buy rating and maintained a USD 45.00 price target in a note issued September 24, 2026. The same report cited a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and a consensus price target of USD 48.82.

The contrast is clear: earnings per share exceeded expectations, while sales remained below the comparison point set by analysts. For the October release, investors will therefore be watching whether operating improvements can support revenue stabilization rather than relying on the prior quarter's earnings beat alone.

International Paper describes its business as packaging, recycling, and fiber-based products made from renewable resources. On its company website, International Paper says its transformation is focused on reliability, quality, and service in North America.
