Valuing International Paper stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of International Paper's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
International Paper's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, International Paper shares trade at around 30x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
International Paper's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6785. 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'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's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a International Paper's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 1.61% of net profits
Recently International Paper has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In International Paper's case, that would currently equate to about $1.85 per share.
While International Paper's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that International Paper is investing more in its future growth.
International Paper's most recent dividend payout was on 16 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
International Paper'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 shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for International Paper shares which in turn could have impacted International Paper's share price.
Over the last 12 months, International Paper's shares have ranged in value from as little as $31.9415 up to $59.8603. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while International Paper's is 0.948. This would suggest that International Paper's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
