Louisiana Pacific Benefits From Another Strong Quarter of Panel Pricing; Raising FVE to $25
Louisiana Pacific managed a robust second quarter. With both panel and lumber prices surging beyond even our lofty expectations for the year, sales and EBITDA both remain ahead of pace for the year. We've increased our annual forecast for the Random Lengths OSB index to reach $410 before easing next year as additional supply enters the market. Accordingly, we've lifted our fair value estimate to $25 per share from $23 to account for higher near-term cash flows, driven by higher pricing, and time...Louisiana-Pacific is a provider of building solutions serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling and outdoor structures markets.
