West Fraser Timber (WFG-T) is experiencing a mixed outlook among analysts, characterized by recent struggles and fluctuations in its performance. Experts note a potential breakout if the stock surpasses the $100 mark, which could lead to a rise towards $110, but some investors may choose to sell at that point to secure gains based on past resistance levels. On the other hand, the company faces challenges, including past tariff impacts and current weak demand for lumber, leading to discussions about potential tax-loss selling. Despite these concerns, there is a belief that the market cycle may be shifting toward recovery, which could positively influence lumber stocks as the economy strengthens. Ultimately, while there are concerns about the overall business outlook, some experts view this as a potential buying opportunity, indicating they are interested in the stock when it faces its toughest moments.

DON'T BUY
Came in with about $0.99 on earnings in the last quarter. Sensitive to commodities. A lot of people are worried about US housing which would affect the stock.
TOP PICK
Likes this company mainly for its timber on the ground and that it's mostly a lumber company more than a pulp and paper company. Prefers western Canada companies over eastern. Has some compelling value to it. There's a big bonus if the softwood lumber war is ever concluded.
HOLD
Q: Sell? A: A sector that is very much out of favour, but looking at the stock, it's trading at a PE of only 10 times in spite of the fact of duties and countervailing duties. If that ever gets sorted out the Canadian lumber industry can really make a lot of money. A very strongly run company.
TOP PICK
3rd largest lumber producer in North America. Selling at single digit multiples on an earnings basis. Generating significant amounts of cash flow. Clean balance sheet. Good management. If they got the tarriffs back from the softwood lumber dispute, it would amount to $4 a share which is not factored into the price.
HOLD
Stock has dropped because lumber prices have come off as well as making a major acquisition which has created dilution. Stronger Cdn$ has hurt as wood products are sold in US$'s.
BUY
Prefers over Abitibi. One of the better timber companies.
TOP PICK
Recently bought Welwood. Both are low cost produceers of lumber. Feels that housing starts will continue to do well.
DON'T BUY
Not bullish on pulp and paper or lumber.
BUY
Very optimistic. With interest rates dropping, stock prices will rise
STRONG BUY
Long term. Well run, but short term, timber is down Low $20's a good entry
