Based on the data provided, International Paper's net profit margin has fluctuated over the past five years. In December 2020, the net profit margin was at 2.34%, increasing to 4.19% in December 2021, and further rising to 7.11% in December 2022. However, there was a significant decline in December 2023 when the net profit margin dropped to 1.52%. In the most recent year, December 2024, the net profit margin recovered slightly to 2.99%.
This trend indicates that International Paper experienced improving profitability from 2020 to 2022, potentially due to effective cost management or revenue growth. However, the sharp decline in net profit margin in 2023 suggests challenges or increased expenses impacting the company's profitability. The subsequent recovery in 2024 demonstrates a partial bounce back but still below the peak in 2022. Monitoring and analyzing the factors influencing these fluctuations would be critical to understanding International Paper's financial performance and sustainability.
