Revenue moved the other way: quarterly sales ran $4.6–$4.7 billion through 2024, then $5.9–$6.8 billion from 2025 on. Full-year revenue rose from $18.6 billion in 2024 to $24.9 billion in 2025. Over the last 20 quarters, International Paper beat EPS estimates 12 times, but missed in all four quarters of 2025.
International Paper reported Q3 between October 26 and October 31 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the return to a small profit in the first half of 2026 continues.
