International Paper

International Paper is among the world’s largest Paper Products sector businesses in the world.  International Paper’s employees generate $2.721B in profits on $21.686B of revenue.  Global output in the Paper Products business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but International Paper is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Paper Products segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

International Paper’s ticker symbol IP has recently been trading near $38.83 a share.  The International Paper corporate headquarters in Memphis TN predicts Paper Products profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $16.913B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.93, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, International Paper moves less aggressively.
