International Paper carries a Smart Value Score of 50/100 (Grade C), which we rate Hold. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $28.41 against the $32.47 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for International Paper's growth. The Hold rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.
What is the price target of International Paper (IP)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $39.36, about 21.2% above the current $32.47. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of International Paper (IP)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $28.41, a -73.1% margin of safety versus today's $32.47. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.

International Paper's trailing twelve-month revenue is $24.34B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
