Deutsche Bank initiated coverage of International Paper (IP) with a Hold rating and a $38 price target, citing a complex economic landscape for the packaging sector characterized by weak consumer demand, cost inflation, higher oil prices, and tariff challenges. While positive on rigid and flexible packaging, the firm is cautious on fiber-based packaging. International Paper plans to build a new $225 million sustainable packaging facility in Mississippi to replace older infrastructure, with operations expected to begin in Q4 2027.
