Underweight
Reason
Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on International Paper to $43 from $40 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. The firm notes Q2 started with extreme uncertainty, but it believes largely exited in line with expectations. Q2 Cboard pricing was flat. Stressed consumers keep Wells cautious domestically, with ongoing trade tensions and export demand an underappreciated risk.

Reason
UBS analyst Anojja Shah initiated coverage of International Paper with a Buy rating and $60 price target. The firm names International Paper its top pick of the four paper packaging stocks. Over time, it sees 50% EBITDA growth from 2025 to 2027, which UBS believes should cause the stock to re-rate. The company has self-help opportunities, which combined with lower sell-side expectations, should lead to upside, the analyst tells investors in a research note. UBS adds the new management has a track record of operational success.

Equal Weight -> Underweight
Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Gabe Hajde downgraded International Paper to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $40, down from $45. The firm cites worsening fundamentals in domestic and global containerboard markets for the downgrade. Wells now has greater conviction that International Paper will not be able to hit its 2025 guidance. This could distract investors from the company's 2027 "aspirational" targets, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees an "elevated" valuation at current share levels.
