Louisiana-Pacific: Siding Is Improving, But Valuation Leaves Little Upside
Summary Louisiana-Pacific is rated Hold due to a valuation that already prices in Siding growth, with upside dependent on volatile OSB performance. Siding segment benefits from builder penetration, ExpertFinish adoption, and distribution expansion, supporting high single-digit growth and margin stability. ExpertFinish, now 18% of Siding revenue, drives mix improvement and margin support, with new capacity coming online to capture repair-and-remodel demand. OSB remains a significant earnings drag; without improvement, LPX’s fair value is ~$67 per share, below the current price. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaNarrative Update • Jul 07

LP Building Solutions Offers A Promising Long-Term Outlook, But With Some Near-Term Noise
Summary LP Building Solutions has continued to deliver strong execution in the engineered wood siding market, but faces uncertainties with upcoming OSB capacity additions and a still-shaky U.S. housing market. Fourth quarter results were mixed, with the siding business missing EBITDA expectations and the commodity OSB business beating comfortably, and management guided 2025 EBITDA about 6% below consensus. Management's continued investment in siding capacity is a good decision (the business has been growing at a high single-digit rate), as is continuing to develop new higher-value OSB products. A forward EBITDA multiple of 9.75x can support a fair value around $113, but I'd consider investing closer to $90 given multiple market uncertainties.
