International Paper's Q1 2027 earnings-per-share estimate was raised by Zacks Research to USD 0.66 from USD 0.64 in a report issued on October 16, 2026, according to MarketBeat. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was trading at EUR 30.10 on October 20, 2026 at 7:05 p.m. CEST.

Estimates point to a measured recovery

The Zacks estimate remains paired with a Hold rating, while the forecast implies a USD 0.02 upward revision for the first quarter of 2027. The change matters because International Paper's latest reported quarter combined a small earnings beat with weaker sales.

For the second quarter of 2026, International Paper reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.04 and revenue of USD 6.00 billion, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was 11.30 percent below the year-earlier quarter, while earnings per share exceeded the USD 0.04 loss expected by analysts by USD 0.08.

Stock sits below its yearly high

International Paper's NYSE quote was USD 33.65 on October 20, 2026 at 1:10 p.m. EDT, down 0.30 percent from USD 33.75. Its 52-week range was USD 29.26 to USD 50.25, putting the quote USD 16.60 below the high, a 33.03 percent gap. The market capitalization was USD 17.8 billion.

October 28 is the next test

International Paper is expected to release third-quarter 2026 results before the New York market opens on October 28, 2026, with a conference call scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET, according to MarketBeat. The same estimate calls for USD 0.29 in earnings per share and USD 6.26 billion in revenue, compared with a loss of USD 0.43 per share and revenue of USD 6.22 billion in the year-earlier quarter.

Packaging remains the business anchor

International Paper describes its operations as sustainable packaging, pulp, paper and recycling solutions, with packaging and containerboard serving manufacturers, retailers and consumer-goods companies. The earnings date therefore puts the forecast revision alongside a concrete operating checkpoint: revenue growth and margin recovery must appear together for the estimate increase to gain wider support.
