What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

International Paper, the world's largest containerboard producer, is reportedly moving toward a corporate split due to competitive pressure from companies like Smurfit Westrock. The company, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, currently operates through two regional platforms, including Packaging Solutions North America. The potential separation requires the $0.4625 quarterly dividend to be reallocated between the two successor companies, though no policy has been publicly disclosed.
