Western Forest Products Inc. (WEF) has experienced a significant decline in its stock value, being down 26% for the year and 37% over the past 52 weeks. The company, which has recently announced a cut in production, is currently not profitable and has canceled its dividend, which was a further blow to investor confidence. Experts note that while there has been some insider buying and the stock trades at a low valuation compared to peers, the overall outlook remains bleak given the ongoing losses. Additionally, the company has adjusted its strategy to protect its balance sheet due to ongoing weaknesses in the housing market. Some analysts suggest that as US interest rates decrease and housing activity potentially rebounds, there could be a turnaround for the stock, though there is considerable uncertainty at this point.
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.
