Rayonier Inc. (RYN) has garnered attention from stock analysts, notably Michael O'Reilly, who emphasizes the company's pivotal role as a New Zealand-based timber REIT with substantial land holdings in the US. Key highlights include a recent 'merger of equals' that expands its holdings to an impressive 4 million acres in the US, underpinned by significant EPS growth of over 30% annually in the past five years. The company's financial health appears robust, with a low payout ratio of under 50%, indicating that dividends are well-supported by cash flow. Furthermore, the company is actively buying back shares while reducing its debt, showcasing prudent management practices. Analysts suggest maintaining a stop-loss at $20, with potential price targets reflecting upside ranging from 18% to 28% in the near future.

It trades at 1.5x book and boasts annual EPS growth exceeding 30% over the past five years. The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.

Lumber and forest products company. Large company had a nice consolidation for 10 months. He is seeing a momentum breakout now. It is just starting to break out so he sees potential and is planning a buying program for this. If the stock drops, he will begin reducing at $33 and be out at $31. At the upside, he thinks the stock can go to $40. (Analysts’ price target is 32.00$)
Have 3 businesses, timber land, real estate and performance pulp. Competitors have dumped pulp on to the market to compete with the specialty fibres that they make. These fibres go into cigarette filters and diapers. Drop in the stock price was really a reflection that this dumping probably will persist for the next 3 years or so. They still have their timberland REIT, which is buying land in New Zealand. Product is shipped directly to China. He is going to Hold because they have been able to execute very well with what they are doing. Timberland situation is not correlated to stocks or bonds and he doesn’t mind bad news in the short term, which will ultimately be better news down the road. 4.3% dividend yield.
