The experts have mixed views on Western Forest Products Inc. Trevor Rose's Insights from 5i Research is not interested in the stock due to its losses, outlook, cancelled dividend, and small size. On the other hand, there is some insider buying and it is considered a great turnaround stock with potential upside once US interest rates come down and housing activity improves. The recent news of WEF engaging in a partnership with a First Nations group does not change the overall unfavourable view of the stock. The stock is currently trading at a significant discount to its sales compared to other companies in the sector. However, its specialty wood products and potential turnaround are factors worth considering.
Some insider buying. Trades at 0.16x sales, about half as much as CFP or IFP. Money-losing right now. Specialty wood products, typically higher margin and more profitable. But not anymore, related to housing market being slow. Cut dividend to protect balance sheet, so company's now pretty secure.
A great turnaround stock with upside once US interest rates come down and housing activity starts to come back. He's keeping a close eye on it.
Our view remains unchanged. The only recent news was that WEF had engaged in a partnership with a First Nations group where the Group would acquire a 34% interest from WEF in a limited partnership, for $35.9M. There is nothing exciting fundementally and it has small cap risks, so we continue to view it unfavourably.
