International Paper Co
International Paper makes corrugated packaging, boxes, containerboard, and other paper products used to ship, protect, and display goods. It also supplies pulp and fiber-based materials that go into tissue, hygiene, and industrial products. In simple terms, it turns wood fiber into everyday packaging and paper materials that businesses need to move products through the supply chain. Its main customers are manufacturers, retailers, e-commerce sellers, distributors, and other companies that need cartons, shipping cases, and paper inputs. The company earns money by selling these products through long-term supply relationships and by charging for packaging materials that customers use repeatedly in their operations. Because packaging is tied to production and shipping, demand tends to follow the flow of goods in many industries rather than consumer brand loyalty. What makes International Paper important in its industry is that it sits close to the center of physical commerce: it provides the boxes and fiber materials that let products travel safely from factories to stores and homes. Its business depends on managing forests, mills, and converting plants, then matching packaging design and supply to customer needs. That makes it both a materials producer and a key packaging partner for companies that need reliable, large-scale shipping and protective packaging.

Results: International Paper said first-quarter earnings came in below expectations, with adjusted EBITDA of $677 million and adjusted EBIT of $188 million, even as North America showed solid volume gains.
North America: Box shipments outpaced the industry for a third straight quarter, with North American box volumes up 2.5% year over year per day versus down 0.3% for the industry.
Guidance Cut: Full-year 2026 Packaging Solutions North America EBITDA guidance was lowered to $2.35 billion to $2.5 billion from $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion, while EMEA was cut to $900 million to $1 billion from $1 billion to $1.1 billion.
Second-Half Hope: Management expects a meaningful second-half improvement, driven by pricing flow-through, planned outage timing, Riverdale conversion timing, and cost-out actions already underway.
Macro Pressure: Higher diesel, freight, OCC, energy, and weather-related costs were major headwinds, and management said overall market demand is now roughly flat for 2026.
Strategic Shift: The company highlighted major portfolio changes, including the NORPAC mill acquisition, continued footprint optimization in EMEA, and progress toward separating the North America and EMEA businesses within 12 to 15 months.
