Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about International Paper Company stock:

• 1. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We don’t quite understand investors’ willingness to ignore what has happened and focus seemingly exclusively on what could happen." (7/27/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "International Paper outperformed the Zacks categorized Paper and Related Products industry, with an average return of 4.2% compared with 0.5% for the latter, over the last month.  The company is undergoing restructuring initiatives to transform itself into a core packaging firm. International Paper aims to utilize its cash flow by investing in capital projects, reduce debt burden and improve shareholder return. The company is also taking prudent steps to drive further margin expansion and expects EBITDA to increase by 5% in the near future through diligent execution of operational plans. However, strength in U.S. dollars and soft macroeconomic conditions across the globe has led to volatility in raw material prices, affecting the performance of the company. Failure to realize synergies from acquisitions could also negatively impact the company's earnings. High pension obligations further remain a significant headwind for the company." (7/14/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "While mgmt's EBITDA guide was a letdown, it rebases expectations and we continue to believe IP is well positioned to benefit from a global cyclical recovery, which should drive stronger demand and pricing in c'board and pulp, and we don't believe mgmt is looking to settle for flat to down margins."
