Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Weyerhaeuser Company
May 4, 2026 10:37 AM

01:25 PM EDT, 05/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We maintain our 12-month target price at $21, 39.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to WY's three-year average forward P/E of 59.7x based on the outlook for depressed profitability in 1H 2026. We increase our 2026 adjusted EPS by $0.05 to $0.16 and decrease 2027 by $0.17 to $0.53. We note that lumber pricing momentum is positive, driven by mills shutting down over the past two years, which has created vacant supply while waiting for prices to increase. Management noted that the housing market is stuck in second gear with repair and renovation activity currently lacking a clear catalyst for growth. Export markets remain more challenged that last year due to elevated Japanese inventories and increased export costs due to higher energy prices. We believe WY remains overleveraged with lower profitability impacting cash flow generation this year with stronger lumber price realizations likely to increase supply and reduce potential EPS growth for WY in the long term.
