-- 森林产品公司Canfor(CFP.TO)公布,尽管销售额超出分析师预期,但第一季度净亏损扩大,销售额同比下降。该公司同时指出,“木材业务以及纸浆和造纸业务(尽管程度稍轻)的业绩均有所改善”,尽管需求依然“相对疲软”。 第一季度,归属于公司股东的净亏损为7210万加元,而去年同期净亏损为3100万加元。第一季度每股净亏损(基本及摊薄后)为0.62美元,而去年同期每股净亏损(基本及摊薄后)为0.26美元。 第一季度销售额为13.6亿美元,而去年同期为14.2亿美元。FactSet汇总的市场普遍预期为12.9亿美元。 该公司公布本季度营业亏损为7250万美元,而2025年第四季度营业亏损为4.159亿美元。在计入此前确认的2000万美元存货减值冲回后,该公司2026年第一季度调整后营业亏损为9250万美元,而2025年第四季度调整后营业亏损为1.45亿美元。该公司在一份声明中表示:“这些业绩主要反映了木材业务的改善,纸浆和造纸业务也有所改善,只是程度稍轻。” 总裁兼首席执行官苏珊·尤尔科维奇表示:“2026年第一季度,我们全球业务的市场环境依然充满挑战。” “尽管业绩有所改善,这主要得益于北美木材价格上涨和产量提高,但需求依然相对疲软。尽管贸易压力、地缘政治不确定性以及部分地区天气造成的干扰持续存在,但我们对可控因素的关注仍有助于本季度业绩的改善。我们将继续密切关注市场状况,并根据市场变化调整公司应对策略。” 尤尔科维奇补充道:“全球纸浆市场在第一季度继续面临严峻挑战,纸浆生产商的库存仍然居高不下。鉴于我们预计这些挑战将在短期内持续存在,我们将继续专注于提升运营韧性并严格控制成本,同时持续评估运营竞争力。” 在纸浆和造纸业务展望中,Canfor表示,公司位于Intercontinental的NBSK纸浆厂计划于2026年第二季度进行维护停产,预计将导致NBSK市场纸浆产量减少约2万吨。该公司补充说,其造纸机计划进行维护停机,预计纸张产量将减少5000吨。 关于木材业务前景,该公司预计全球木材市场将继续受到持续的全球贸易流动中断的影响,尤其是在伊朗冲突的影响下。该公司表示,这些挑战可能会继续推高成本并加剧宏观经济的不确定性。持续的供应链限制,特别是石油基产品的供应链限制,预计将对新建住房产生不利影响。该公司补充说:“预计这些因素将进一步影响市场动态,并导致全球木材行业的价格持续波动。” Canfor近期收购了Canfor Pulp Products Inc.剩余的已发行和流通股,从而100%控股Canfor Pulp。

Montreal's Housing Market In Better Shape Than Others in Canada, Says National Bank
According to National Bank of Canada's preliminary estimate based on Centris data, seasonally adjusted home sales in Montreal fell by 9.0% from March to April, marking the sharpest decline since October 2023, when buyers were bracing for potential interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada.Despite this decline, the Montreal market continues to compare favorably with other major Canadian cities, thanks in particular to its better affordability conditions; transaction levels in Montreal in April were at their historical average, while they were 26.5% below average in Toronto and 31.5% below in Vancouver.Although the sluggishness of the Quebec economy and the persistent commercial and geopolitical uncertainty in the background could explain part of the slowdown observed in April, the bank believes that the lingering winter conditions in April may have played a role.Indeed, to support this hypothesis, National Bank notes the decline across all property segments and the decreases recorded in most of the province's major cities. Upcoming data for May could confirm the validity of this theory.However, the bad weather doesn't seem to have dampened sellers' enthusiasm, as the bank estimates that new listings increased by 4.2% between March and April. Combined with the decline in sales, this resulted in a 3.9% increase in active listings, marking the fourth consecutive monthly rise.Overall, market conditions, as measured by the ratio of active listings to sales, eased considerably during the month and moved into balanced territory.However, this situation could be temporary if transactions rebound in May, which could tighten market conditions, it added.
