Weyerhaeuser stock price target lowered to $30 by RBC Capital

Investing.com - RBC Capital has lowered its price target on Weyerhaeuser (NYSE:WY) to $30.00 from $31.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The timber REIT is currently trading near its 52-week low of $22.57, with shares down over 24% in the past year.

The firm noted that wood products markets continue to face pressure from soft demand conditions across the industry. This aligns with InvestingPro data showing eight analysts have revised their earnings downwards for the upcoming period, with net income expected to drop this year.

Despite these challenges, RBC Capital views Weyerhaeuser as "relatively well positioned" in the current environment, which features elevated softwood lumber duties and tariffs on Canadian producers. The company maintains a solid 3.65% dividend yield and has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years.

The analyst expects Weyerhaeuser’s upcoming investor day to highlight significant Natural and Climate Solutions (NCS) growth opportunities available to the company.

RBC Capital also anticipates the investor event will showcase the value of Weyerhaeuser’s integrated business model, which contributed to the firm’s decision to maintain its Outperform rating despite the price target reduction.

In other recent news, Weyerhaeuser Company reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings, exceeding expectations with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.06. This result surpassed the analysts’ forecast of -$0.05, indicating a stronger-than-anticipated performance for the quarter. Despite the positive earnings surprise, the company’s stock experienced a decline, attributed to broader market trends and operational challenges. Investors are closely watching these developments as they assess the company’s financial health. The earnings report highlights Weyerhaeuser’s ability to outperform projections, even amid market uncertainties. Analysts and investors may take note of these results as they consider future performance expectations. These recent developments provide insight into the company’s current financial standing and market response.
