Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This TOP PICK operates 7 sawmills and can produce 1 billion board feet of lumber annually. Production was slowed in December due to market conditions, which has impacted the stock's value short term. Management expect production to return in Q1. We like that the company generated almost $250 million in free cash flow last year, more than the past four years combined. This was while retiring debt and buying back shares. It trades at under book value. We recommend a stop-loss at $1.05, looking to achieve $1.80 -- upside potential over 35%. Yield 3.7% (Analysts’ price target is $1.79)

HOLD
He considers forest stocks to be a hold. He is lightening up on his position. You should buy commodity products when they are not at a historic high like now.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 22/20, Up 132%) He would be a buyer. There is a disconnect with lumber prices. It deserves to be a higher price than where it is now.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/20, Up 191%) Lumber has become the hottest commodity. It is still not back to its 2018 high, which it should get to if lumber prices stay high.

BUY
He considers it a buy still today. It has not recovered as much as the other three. It is because it is a specialty lumber products company. The price of lumber has been on a tear this year. The strike is no longer in place but it is trading lower than it was then. There has not been a single share sold by insiders this year. The risk/reward ratio looks quite attractive.

WATCH
Has owned it in the past. He sold it in Feb/March when all that disruption happened and he didn't know what would happen (Covid). In the past 6 months, so much happened and he missed WEF popping up. He regrets selling this. He's now watching this. Can't say yet how US tariffs rolling off will effect this; he will study this. Likes this company and management. Should do well.

HOLD
They just announced third quarter results. Earnings are second highest since 2018 when the stock was $2. They do specialty lumber and they are diversified, so they move more gently. The valuation is attractive. The dividend should come back.

Thinks it is great news that Brookfield, since they have made their money, is exiting. Liquidity should be a lot better. Their exposure is not just to the US housing market, which he is very bullish on, but also to the Japanese and China markets.
