International Paper Co.
IPNYSE • USD
Market: OPEN
IP is currently priced at $40.76. There is a divergence between signals — technical indicators rate "Buy" but underlying fundamentals lean "Sell". Notable factors include a concerning Altman Z-Score in the distress zone, a weak Piotroski F-Score of 1/9, negative Return on Equity, a bullish Golden Cross on the moving averages and bullish moving average alignment. The stock looks compelling on valuation, with multiples below sector averages across P/E, P/B, and EV/EBITDA.
