International Paper shares slid to a fresh 52‑week low as investors reacted to a downbeat earnings outlook and persistent doubts over the planned spin‑off of its EMEA packaging operations. The selling pressure intensified after a hotter‑than‑expected U.S. Producer Price Index print weighed on the broader materials sector and overshadowed recent insider share purchases.
Analysts at Zacks Research cut their profit expectations for the company, reinforcing concerns that the spin‑off may not deliver the hoped‑for value. This weaker earnings view, combined with the macro‑driven risk‑off mood, has kept sentiment negative around the stock despite management’s efforts to highlight long‑term strategic benefits.
