Truist analyst Michael Roxland raised the firm’s price target on International Paper to $57 from $55 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing Q3 results for Packaging & Paper/Forest Products. The sector saw better containerboard demand and stable pricing, uneven boxboard demand and mixed pricing depending on substrate, and mixed wood products pricing, with single-family construction being in the early stages of a recovery, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Beverage can demand also remained steady with better growth out of Europe and South America, Truist added.
