Interfor Corp (IFP-T) has seen a spike in its stock due to the impact of a US hurricane, although the entire sector may remain volatile. Despite recent positive momentum, there are concerns about potential resistance levels and the need to overcome supply issues. However, some experts believe that IFP and other Canadian forestry stocks may have potential for growth, especially in comparison to US homebuilders. Overall, the consensus is mixed and caution is advised before investing in IFP.

Spike today might be due to US hurricane.

Whole sector can be volatile. Nice run since July, when homebuilders picked up substantially. Getting above $19 was significant. Big spike today. Don't want to see it break below $15. Will have trouble between $22-25, so might spend some time there chewing through the supply (as people get out to get their money back).

Homebuilding stocks in the US have been going straight up, but Canadian forestry stocks have been going the other way. WFG has done the best in holding its share price.

IFP and CFP have really started to bottom on the charts. He hasn't done enough digging to know who has a better earnings profile. But looking at the charts, one of these might be a good bet to catch up to WFG and to the US homebuilders. Lower interest rates will have an impact as well.

TOL is one of the biggest homebuilders in the US, and a leading indicator. When it starts to go, as it has in the last few days, it's usually good for the lumber stocks.

Wood products sector doing well, but IFP not performing. Better names in the sector to own. Would not recommend buying.

Demand for lumber will continue to increase.
Short term weakness in housing (recession) not a concern for long term investors.
Expecting performance for long term investors.

If IFP can meet earnings estimates it is very cheap. Debt is still higher than most, but in a rally investors tend to ignore debt. Thus it can be a good trader. Fires can be both good and bad for the industry. Impacted companies of course can be hurt, but prices can also rise if a wide area is affected by fire. But this can be short-lived, as salvage logs can hit the market shortly after a fire. In 2021's fires, IFP had a net positive impact but its was very short term.

Lumber went on a moon shot in the first couple of months of Covid. Housing starts are rolling over. As lumber goes, so goes the stock. Buy when it's at a fraction of book value and the chart's collapsed. Not timely.

Super cheap at 2x earnings, forecast 6x next year. In short term, lumber prices under pressure. Economic storm clouds ahead. Entire sector really cheap, but really good balance sheets. Just need stabilization in prices and a hint of an uptick, and these stocks will do well. Allowable cut in BC has gone down, so IFP mainly in Atlantic Canada and Eastern US.

With lumber companies and other commodity related companies it is better to trade them rather than hold for the long term. He sold last year in the 30 dollar plus range after buying at $6.50 a couple of years ago. Lumbar prices have peaked with house prices so be cautious.

Very cyclical, so you must watch lumber prices, which move dramatically. She avoids cyclicals, which are a trade at best. It's very tough to forecast commodity prices.

Well-managed. The whole lumber industry had a massive run-up in prices given demand in renovations and new houses as well as supply contraints. The sector has pulled back a lot, but has climbed recently. The outlook is good. They trade at half this PEs now. The balance sheet is clean and IFP has a strong presence in the U.S. south. He likes it. Has a strong balance and generates tons of cash.

See his comments on Domain. It's a commodity producer, and he doesn't buy price-takers. He's very bearish on lumber prices; we won't be buying lumber to build decks again (after the 2020 lockdowns).

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Commodity prices are jumping violently. The company is debt free and has excess cash. They are very cheap. Although earnings are expected to fall, the economic backdrop is positive for the sector overall. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

The easy money has been made, but he doesn't see a pullback. He doesn't see much upside. Take profits. The lumber outlook for 2022 is decent, but valuations are rich in these stocks.

Does not have exposure to lumber producers. With commodity producers, need to look at commodity prices. Probably has peaked. It was a one time surge for detached new homes and renovation products. This is not a slope change, but a one time blip. Lumber, unlike oil and gold, is renewable resource. We are seeing a supply response.
