Residential construction is healthy and the prices of building supplies like sawlogs, timber, and OSB are very healthy… and yet, Louisiana-Pacific (LPX) and Weyerhaeuser (WY) have had lousy runs in the stock market this year and over the last twelve months. While Canadian companies like Canfor (OTCPK:CFPZF) (CFP.TO), Norbord (OSB), and West Fraser (OTCPK:WFTBF) (WFT.TO) have all enjoyed good runs, Weyerhaeuser shares have gone nowhere fast.
Lagging
price realizations in OSB and still-lagging recoveries in Southern
sawlogs are issues, and perhaps Weyerhaeuser is lagging because it’s not
the “pure play” on some of these hot assets that other names are, but I
find it interesting that the stock hasn’t responded more
enthusiastically to the spiking prices in many of its end-markets.
