International Paper reported a third-quarter net sales decline of 0.4% year over year to $6.2 billion. Adjusted earnings per share swung to a positive $0.37 from a $0.43 loss in the prior-year period.
After a decade of adjusting its business model to improve profitability, International Paper will enjoy solid returns as it now operates primarily as a containerboard company.
Despite a period of attractive margin expansion in containerboard production, the best days are behind International Paper as new capacity weighs on linerboard prices.
