Interested in Louisiana-Pacific Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better.
Second-quarter results weakened: Sales fell $90 million year over year to $664 million and EBITDA dropped $63 million to $79 million, primarily because of lower OSB prices and volumes. LP expects OSB EBITDA of approximately negative $45 million in Q3 and negative $120 million for 2026 if prices remain flat.
Siding showed resilience and is expected to rebound: Despite a 4% sales decline and weather, freight and inflation disruptions, the segment maintained a 26% EBITDA margin. LP forecasts Q3 Siding revenue of $460 million–$470 million and EBITDA of $110 million–$120 million, with modest volume growth anticipated.
LP is prioritizing Siding investment while reducing spending elsewhere: The company cut its 2026 capital-expenditure outlook by $70 million to about $320 million, largely by delaying OSB maintenance projects, while directing roughly three-quarters of spending toward Siding capacity expansions.
