Analyst projections of the future price of West Fraser Timber stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The final US review cut West Fraser’s combined cash-deposit duty rate to 20.02% from 26.47%, the lowest in the industry. That eases a significant cost on Canadian lumber shipments to the US. (West Fraser Timber Co.)
Henderson’s new sawmill more than doubled production in the second quarter versus the first, and management expects further operating gains as it ramps up. Better productivity could strengthen unit costs when market prices recover. (West Fraser Timber Co.)
West Fraser has financial room to manage the downturn, with $1.2bn of available liquidity, an undrawn $1bn revolving credit facility and net debt-to-capital of 6% at quarter-end. It also refinanced its term loan to September 2029. (West Fraser Timber Co.)
Weak housing demand is weighing on results: West Fraser reported a third-quarter net loss of $80m and adjusted EBITDA fell to $38m from $59m in the previous quarter. It expects North American lumber and OSB shipments to land near the lower end of its guidance ranges. (West Fraser Timber Co.)
The downturn has forced indefinite curtailments at the Huguley OSB and Leola lumber mills, removing 500m square feet of annual OSB capacity and 225m board feet of lumber capacity. West Fraser expects a further $200m–$220m asset impairment in the fourth quarter. (West Fraser Timber Co.)
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to negative and forecast negative free cash flow and adjusted debt-to-EBITDA of about 3.4 times for 2026. If the recovery takes longer than expected, leverage could stay elevated for longer. (S&P Global Ratings)
