Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openInternational Paper confirmed on October 15 that it is in early talks with potential buyers for its European packaging business, while still preparing to spin off DS Smith. The sale discussions were prompted by unsolicited approaches from buyers and are preliminary, running alongside the planned spinoff.
International Paper is moving ahead with plans to spin off its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) packaging business into a separate public company, while also weighing a potential sale after receiving unsolicited interest from buyers.
International Paper (IP) shares rose 6.7% after the company confirmed it is in early-stage talks with potential buyers interested in its European packaging business. Private equity firms Lone Star and Atlas Holdings are reportedly weighing multibillion-dollar offers for the unit, which could be valued at under $6 billion, potentially disrupting plans to spin off the former DS Smith business on the London stock market.
International Paper's stock rallied on reports that it may be close to selling its European business, though the rumored sale price would mean a large loss versus what IP paid for the unit about two years ago.
Shares of International Paper rose 7.6% on Thursday after reports that two private equity firms may bid for the company's struggling European business. International Paper was down about 20% year-to-date before this gain, with stagnant growth and rising costs from inflation, tariffs, and interest rates.
