\n

The major forestry companies in Canada are experiencing important growth as their share prices increase, despite the trade dispute with the US and the shipments delays. This stock rally that began in 2017 has been welcomed in a sector which endured many economic downturns.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a cyclical industry, and cycles come and go<\/em>,\u201d business magnate Jim Pattison, who owns nearly half of Canfor Corp. and more than 10 per cent of West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd., said. \u201cThe key is to take advantage of the cycles when the time comes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou go through a mill, and it\u2019s a lot different [than] when you used to go through. New technology has moved in<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Globe and Mail, analysts say forestry firms have invested heavily in new technology to become more efficient at sawmills, including the use of sensors and lasers to make the most of each log. The difference this time in the commodity cycle is that lumber in particular might be in the early stages of an extended rally.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Raymond James Ltd. analyst Daryl Swetlishoff said lumber producers are poised to enjoy what he calls a \u201csupercycle\u201d \u2212 a multiyear boom in which producers enjoy both high softwood prices and strong output at their mills. Also, since the beginning of 2017, the share prices for West Fraser Timber and Canfor have nearly doubled.<\/div>\n

Swetlishoff added that the sector might experience some robust demand, tight supply and strong prices. \u201cMore recently, lumber prices have hit all-time highs as elements of the supercycle thesis have come to pass<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the demand side, fears of reduced lumber orders from the U.S. due to the cross-border softwood dispute have proven to be overblown. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed final countervailing and anti-dumping tariffs averaging 20.23 per cent against most Canadian lumber producers., The Globe and Mail reported.<\/p>\n

The lumber producers in Canada are currently passing the extra costs from the softwood duties to the US home builders.<\/p>\n

\u201cRailcar availability continued to be an issue for some mills but improvements in trucking availability were noted,\u201d said\u00a0RBC Dominion Securities Inc. analyst Paul Quinn, adding that\u00a0transportation problems have hindered deliveries of wood products this year.<\/p>\n

Don Kayne, Canfor\u2019s chief executive officer, acknowledges the challenges with logistics bottlenecks. In the long term, he sees supply and demand being favourable for the lumber business, especially for B.C.-based producers such as Canfor that are able to export to Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout question, there is increasing demand for our products around the world, especially since 2016<\/em>,\u201d Mr. Kayne said in an interview, noting brisk orders from Japan, China and South Korea. \u201cIn North America, it has been slow growth but steady growth.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the\u00a0 institutional investors have sensed the optimism in the forestry sector. \u201cThere\u2019s an increasing positive sentiment for our industry. Over the last 10 years, most Canadian companies have invested significantly in their operations to improve their competitiveness on a global scale. That\u2019s helped a lot.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Resolute Forest Products Ltd. CEO Yves Laflamme, who replaced the retired Richard Garneau in February, said it boils down to operating more efficiently than a decade ago. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty optimistic about wood. We have invested to do better with the same log, the same wood<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Canfor, West Fraser and Interfor Corp. have benefited from their U.S. lumber operations, while Resolute has pulp and paper mills south of the border. Interfor\u2019s stock price has surged almost 80 per cent since the start of 2017, closing at $24.78 on Friday.\u00a0But it hasn\u2019t been a steady climb up for all Canadian forestry firms. Resolute has been on a roller coaster, including a ride down in February, when the Montreal-based company missed fourth-quarter profit expectations and also got hurt by lingering investor concerns about a shortage of truck drivers. Nevertheless, Resolute shares have risen 78 per cent since the start of 2017, closing at $12.73 on Friday, according to the Globe and Mail.<\/p>\n

Resolute produces newsprint, but Canfor, West Fraser and Interfor do not. The U.S. Commerce Department hit Resolute with countervailing duties of 4.42 per cent against the company\u2019s Canadian newsprint in January, but did not impose an anti-dumping tariff.<\/p>\n

Resolute, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. and Domtar Corp. have announced price increases for pulp in North America, affecting northern bleached softwood kraft markets. \u201cThe strength of pulp markets in 2017 has continued in 2018 as producers continue to push prices higher<\/em>,\u201d Mr. Quinn said.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
