*In 2021, International Paper (IP) completed its spinoff of Sylvamo Corporation (SLVM).

International Paper Company's stock had been moving sideways for several years, but over the last couple years it has started to move up. This may be in part be due to the fact that their dividend did not change for over 10 years. International Paper had been paying $.25 per share every quarter since right before its last stock split in 1995. However after slashing its dividend to $0.025 per quarter for a year in 2009 it has increased its payout significantly over the last few years. Currently, its dividend is at $0.4625 per quarter. It is no coincident that as IP began to raise its dividend that the stock price has begun to follow.

All calculations assume all dividends are reinvested to purchase additional shares. Taxes and commissions are not factored into calculations. Data is property of 1stock1 and written permission must be granted before redistributing any data (in part or in whole).
