Valuing International Paper Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of International Paper Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
International Paper Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, International Paper Company shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
International Paper Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3381. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into International Paper Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
International Paper Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.2 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 48.94% of net profits
Recently International Paper Company has paid out, on average, around 48.94% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.74% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), International Paper Company shareholders could enjoy a 3.74% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In International Paper Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.05 per share.
While International Paper Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that International Paper Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
International Paper Company's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 February 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
International Paper Company's shares were split on a 1056:1000 basis on 30 September 2021. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1056 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your International Paper Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for International Paper Company shares which in turn could have impacted International Paper Company's share price.
