West Fraser Cuts Output as US Housing Slump Hits Earnings
Original: West Fraser Earnings: Lowering Fair Value Estimate as US Housing Woes Lead to Plant Curtailments
West Fraser Timber has curtailed production at some of its plants as weak US housing demand weighs on lumber sales, and Morningstar says it is lowering its fair value estimate for the company following its latest earnings report. The move reflects persistent pressure on homebuilding activity, which has reduced demand for the wood products West Fraser produces across North America.
Why now: The company's earnings report and production curtailments highlight ongoing weakness in the US housing market, which matters to investors tracking real estate and building materials.
