Louisiana-Pacific (LPX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Louisiana-Pacific has demonstrated a significant upward adjustment in its EBITDA forecast, now projected at $390-400 million with a healthy margin of approximately 25%, reflecting strong operational performance. The company is reporting an impressive year-over-year revenue growth expectation of 17%, improved from a previous estimate of 14-16%, and highlights its ability to gain market share amid a challenging housing market. Additionally, Louisiana-Pacific is enhancing its guidance for the siding segment, further indicating robust long-term growth prospects driven by its expanding engineered wood offerings and South American operations.
Bears say
Louisiana-Pacific's stock outlook is negatively influenced by anticipated declines in North American housing activity, with forecasts indicating a $5/msf quarter-over-quarter drop in oriented strand board (OSB) prices. Economic cyclicality, coupled with potential supply chain challenges such as shortages or rising costs of wood fiber and resin, poses further risks to the company's profitability. Additionally, heightened competition in the siding market, alongside below-estimate segment EBITDA margins, raises concerns regarding Louisiana-Pacific's financial performance moving forward.
