Deep Discount Reflects Persistent Profitability Strain
International Paper trades at a steep discount (forward P/E 13x) due to persistent negative ROIC and net losses. Strong revenue growth and a high dividend yield remain intact, but do not offset deep profitability and stability concerns. The main stress is concentrated in weak capital returns and high volatility. A more constructive case would require a sustained return to profitability and improved stability.
