CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
Louisiana-Pacific delivered mixed Q1 2026 results with net sales of $574M (-21% Y/Y) and adjusted EBITDA of $82M (-49% Y/Y), posting net income of $27M vs. $91M in the prior year. The results highlighted stark segment divergence, with Siding revenue declining 10% to $360M but maintaining EBITDA at $101M through 9% price increases, while OSB revenue collapsed 37% to $168M with EBITDA turning negative at -$12M vs. $54M in the prior year. We think LPX's Siding segment demonstrates notable pricing power and defensive characteristics in challenging market conditions. Management projects Q2 consolidated EBITDA of $100M-$105M and full-year guidance of $345M-$360M, with Siding expected to contribute $410M-$425M while OSB posts -$40M. Housing market headwinds persist with mortgage rate pressures continuing to impact residential construction. We believe LPX's strong liquidity of $900M and planned $390M capex position the company to weather the extended commodity cycle while investing in strategic growth initiatives.
