The period balance: money in, money out
Across the Form 4 filings submitted between Sep 18, 2025 and Aug 10, 2026, International Paper Company open-market activity adds up to 5 purchases worth $4.3M and 4 sales worth $2.3M. The net balance is $2.1M on the buy side.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A buying balance like International Paper Company's is the less common case in the S&P 500: its insiders are already paid in stock and still put in their own money. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

How to read this data
None of the 4 sales in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. International Paper's 5 open-market purchases (code P) are the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from Aug 10, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
20 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
