Nick EdeCORRESPONDENT
Meantime, here's a buying idea.
Nick EdeCORRESPONDENT
The IP shares of International Paper Co. have underperformed over the past quarter, but we think the company's restructuring plans are realistic and that, coupled with the recent DS Smith acquisition, will contribute to an earnings boost in the coming quarters.
Nick EdeCORRESPONDENT
We also think the planned spinoff will position the business well for future growth.
Nick EdeCORRESPONDENT
Our target price on IP is $45.
Bob AllardGUEST
People had obviously left over the last two, three years because they kind of saw the quote unquote "writing on the wall." And yeah, so I, I remember the boss coming in, my boss, he, he flew in.
Bob AllardGUEST
He says, "Hey, we're gonna need some help on this, on International Paper." They're, they were running AS400s, and so I, I started helping out, started helping on that.
Bob AllardGUEST
And I had to do that remotely.
Bob AllardGUEST
That was thing- when things could be done remotely.
17 MINS LATER
John ChristensenHOST
Yeah.
Bob AllardGUEST
And my other contract was me and a guy that lived in Mississippi and a woman that lived up in, up in Calgary, Canada.
Bob AllardGUEST
The three of us were remotely supporting International Paper.
Bob AllardGUEST
At that time, they ran a 400 that was down in Texas, down at the EDS complex.
Jennifer CollinsPANELIST
I mean, that's an extraordinary opportunity to be able to offer a 20-year-old student.
Jennifer CollinsPANELIST
For our students who are interested in business and entrepreneurship, they have a wonderful entrepreneurship ecosystem here that we're able to get our students connected to while at the same time hoping we can support entrepreneurs by providing thought partners and research and action labs that can help them get their businesses launched off the ground or, you know, have them internship with AutoZone or FedEx or International Paper, one of the many smaller employers.
Jennifer CollinsPANELIST
And law and public policy, I mean, Memphis has the highest concentration of nonprofits of any city in the country and our students are out there working every day alongside just city or in the juvenile court system, which is incredibly enriching for them and also a way for our students to give back to the community.
Jennifer CollinsPANELIST
So we are incredibly grateful for all the opportunities that Memphis affords our students.
speaker_8NARRATOR
Eleven witnesses testified at the inquest in the town hall in a courtroom packed with spectators jammed tightly in the rear.
speaker_8NARRATOR
First to be called was John Philip Delaperelle, 42-year-old machinist with the International Paper Company and father of Mary Catherine.
speaker_8NARRATOR
He told of a telephone conversation his daughter had on the evening of February 9th with Donna Vincent, a girl of about her own age, after which she had gone to visit the girl, stopping to talk to him as he was shoveling out his driveway.
speaker_8NARRATOR
She had asked for money to spend at the canteen.
Grant TidwellGUEST
Nice.
Grant TidwellGUEST
But it's because, like I said, you know, earlier, I'm, I'm now reaping the benefits of what International Paper done 30 years ago to supply what they thought was once their mill.
Grant TidwellGUEST
Um, a- and I'm just, I'm getting to work boekoos of, of timber company land that has yet been thinned.
Grant TidwellGUEST
And I speak for Freddy when I say this, Blake, we could buy timber for the next three years in two weeks, you know, w- without having to hunt it, 'cause there's, there's just that much of an oversupply of pine plantation in our area.
Chuck JaffeHOST
So that's a buy on GWW, W.W. Granger and Company.
Chuck JaffeHOST
And last for Sam and Waterfleet, New York, it's International Paper Company, ticker IP.
Mike DixonGUEST
Yeah, overall, Chuck, IP is going to be a sell to me.
Mike DixonGUEST
And I feel like I've got a lot of sells here as we're talking, but I'll throw a Nucor Corporation there as an alternative to international paper.
Mike DixonGUEST
It's in that same kind of materials bucket.
Mike DixonGUEST
And as I mentioned, this is a smaller segment in the S&P 500 overall, but international paper, in general, screens poor on a number of our metrics, primarily on the technical side of things, whereas Nucor is one of the strongest within that material segment, which again, is a smaller segment in the market than something like technology.
Mike DixonGUEST
And I think it pays to be quite selective there.
Mike DixonGUEST
So I would be a sell on international paper, but a buy for Nucor in place of that.
Ryan KnutsonHOST
And then the paper mills that buy pulpwood started shutting down.
speaker_4ADVERTISER
International Paper is closing its facilities.
Ryan DezemberCORRESPONDENT
Very recently, just last year, we had a big rash of pulp mill closings across the South.
Ryan DezemberCORRESPONDENT
Georgia's kinda ground zero, the big mill in Savannah, another one in a crossroads out in the country called Riceboro.
Ryan DezemberCORRESPONDENT
These mills started closing.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Communities are rocked after learning International Paper facilities in Savannah and Riceboro will soon shut down permanently.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The impact is cutting even deeper on, uh, businesses that depend on the timber industry.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
WSAV's Akaya Harris is joining us now with how-
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
I remember, you know, just how common is and that's what kind of drew my attention to it.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
So like International Paper, it's a Fortune 500 company.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
Right.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
You know, they got tons of tons of revenue.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
You know, I was in sales and one of the things is you want to remove obstacles.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
And I think a lot of pushback from the public is about corporate welfare.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
You know, these guys, you know, international paper gets tax breaks and whoever gets tax breaks.
Andy AshbyCORRESPONDENT
I don't get a tax break, you know.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
We try to create these very unique opportunities where they can talk to the experts.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
And I've thought this was fascinating the first time I did it when we went to International Paper.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
And they walked us through the chemical process of how you create the different liquors that end up leading into the paper.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
And when you think about it, you're like, yeah, there's a chemical reaction happening here.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
But you think of the tree to paper, you forget about all the things that happen.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
We see the paper that comes out at the end.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
You have those people like International Paper, Weyerhaeuser, Interfour, and Perry is always a great one.
Kim Morris-ZarnekeGUEST
They bring us, and
