West Fraser Timber (WFG-T) has been facing several challenges, including tariffs and a cyclical downturn in demand for lumber, resulting in a difficult business outlook. Experts have noted that while the stock is currently struggling, entering the 'boring middle' phase of the market cycle could create a more favorable environment for lumber companies, provided that economic conditions improve. Some analysts believe that the stock is undervalued in comparison to its potential and that the 'smart money' is optimistic about lumber stocks. However, there are also concerns about over-capacity and weak demand, which could hinder performance in the short term. Observations indicate a growing interest from investors as they look for turnaround opportunities, especially given the seasonal patterns around tax-loss selling.

IFP

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
