Jefferies notes that Bloomberg is reporting that Suzano (SUZ) is looking to raise as much as $19B of debt for a potential International Paper (IP) deal, which the firm argues implies a cash offer in the $54-$57 range, which it adds is “in line with the range that, we have long argued, IP shareholders would consider.” However, the firm suspects the board sees the intrinsic value “notably above those levels,” added the analyst, who has a Buy rating and $57 price target on International Paper shares.
