On August 12, 2025, International Paper (IP) saw a 2.54% rise in its stock price, with a trading volume of $0.23 billion, marking a 53.85% surge from the previous day. The company’s shares ranked 459th in trading activity among listed stocks.

International Paper CEO Andy Silvernail is scheduled to present at the Jefferies 2025 Industrials Conference on September 4, 2025, starting at 8:10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The session will include a question-and-answer segment, with live webcast access available via the company’s investor relations page. A replay will be posted three hours after the event. The presentation is expected to provide insights into the company’s strategic direction following its 2025 acquisition of DS Smith, which expanded its footprint in North America and EMEA.

The acquisition of DS Smith, finalized in 2025, has solidified International Paper’s position as a leading player in sustainable packaging. With operations spanning over 30 countries and a workforce of 65,000, the company reported $18.6 billion in net sales in 2024. The expanded portfolio underlines its focus on high-growth regions and sustainability-driven solutions, aligning with investor interest in long-term operational resilience.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day resulted in a total profit of $2,550 from 2022 to the present. The maximum drawdown during this period was -15.2%, recorded on October 27, 2022. This highlights the strategy’s volatility despite overall profitability.
