Packaging Corp Of America's net profit margin has shown a decreasing trend in recent quarters, declining from 12.05% in Q4 2022 to 9.73% in Q4 2023. This indicates that the company's profitability relative to its revenue has decreased over this period. The highest net profit margin observed was 12.06% in Q2 2022, while the lowest was recorded in Q4 2023.
