Boise Cascade (BCC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Boise Cascade (BCC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Boise Cascade Co's positive outlook is supported by an anticipated improvement in plywood prices, which is expected to enhance Q1 revenue realizations. The Wood Products segment is projected to see a slight increase in engineered wood product (EWP) volumes, with expectations of improved sales pace as builders adapt to market conditions, despite a decline in EWP prices. Furthermore, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with approximately $7 per share in net cash, positioning it favorably amidst a stable but challenging housing market environment.
Bears say
Boise Cascade is facing a negative outlook due to expected lower EBITDA margins in its Building Materials Distribution segment for early 2025, attributed to slower demand and a lack of favorable pricing conditions. Compounding these challenges are rising cost pressures from tariff discussions and labor availability issues, which have led builders to either increase prices or downsize their projects, further suppressing demand. Additionally, customer reluctance to increase inventory levels, combined with anticipated declines in plywood volumes driven by operational disruptions, underscores the potential for continued financial strain as the company navigates a hesitant market environment.
