Canfor's third-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of a CAD 0.48 loss substantially improved from a CAD 1.47 loss in the prior year's quarter. Management reported softer US lumber demand expected for the fourth quarter and continued excess capacity from competitors in the pulp segment.
Canfor is less exposed to US new residential construction than some of its competitors, which should offer it some protection in a housing downturn.
Canfor’s reliance on lumber profitability could put the firm at risk during times of economic weakness.
