In other recent news, Boise Cascade reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.06, which fell short of the analyst forecast of $1.47. Despite this, the company exceeded revenue expectations with $1.54 billion, slightly above the $1.53 billion forecast. DA Davidson analyst Kurt Yinger revised Boise Cascade’s price target from $125.00 to $115.00 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing a softer first quarter but more positive trends anticipated in the future. The firm’s analysis highlighted the ongoing challenges in the Engineered Wood Products (EWP) market, which could impact near-term performance, but noted encouraging signs in other segments. Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution segment remained stable, supported by strong sales in higher-margin doors and millwork operations. The company’s modernization project at the Oakdale facility is expected to cause year-over-year pressures throughout 2025 but should resolve by the second half of the year. DA Davidson’s reaffirmation of the Buy rating reflects confidence in Boise Cascade’s long-term value proposition despite current market challenges. The company’s solid free cash flow and strong net cash position are expected to support attractive shareholder returns.
